[quote=Anonymous]Expect her to eat one good meal a day at this age. Serve B/L/D plus morning and afternoon snack, but it’s normal if she houses one and picks at the others. (Just make sure snacks are real food and not puffs or pouches, or she’ll continually bypass the regular options to get to the junk food.) DO NOT indulge this nonsense of letting her wander around being literally spoon fed. Serve food, sit and chat while she eats, then clear it the moment she signs/says “all done.” This is the time to start treating her like a person, not a baby. Let her sit in a booster, and serve her whatever you’re eating. (Person who says chicken for you and nuggets for her — WTF?!?). If you need to deconstruct something or portion out a bowl before adding the sriracha to the rest, that’s fine. But a family meal should be a family meal.[/quote]
