[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're in this same challenge.  Do you guys send 'back up' foods if DC doesnt want to eat what you've sent.   Some days DD eats lentils like they're candy, some days she wants nothing to do with them!  I worry about her not wanting what I"ve sent & being hungry/cranky all day[/quote]

[b]What you are suggesting here seems to me to be the root of many coming food struggles.[/b]

Just provide some interesting tasty food and let the kid eat as much of it as they like. Don't focus so much on what they will prefer to eat from day to day.[/quote]

No it doesn't.[/quote]

Yes it does.  But if you want to worry about how much they eat everyday and stress and cook them special menus then go ahead.  If you're considering sending more than one option for lunch you are setting yourself up to be a short order cook.  That's the way it goes honey.  Just send her one choice, her bottles, and that's it.  She will learn that she has to eat what she is offered when she is hungry.  Like I said, if you don't want to do that that's fine.  But you're only making it harder on yourself and her. =)[/quote]
