[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a picky eater adult. As a kid, if I got too hungry my brain would grind to a halt and my decision making abilities went out the window and I'd cry looking at a menu. Even two saltines were enough to bring me back to normal. Can you just shove food at her? My mom could put any of the foods I ate in front of me and I'd eat it. [/quote]

Honest to god, I was like this in the early months of breastfeeding my oldest, who basically sucked every ounce of pregnancy weight off me, plus 10 pounds, in less than 2 months. If I didn't eat with clockwork regularity I would suddenly (and I do mean suddenly) find myself a weepy, despairing mess. I'd never experienced anything like it (though like a PP, I do still have "crashes" sometimes, and I get shaky when I haven't eaten in a while, especially if I've eaten too much sugar). So I'm inclined to be more rather than less sympathetic to this kid. You really have no idea what it's like if you haven't experienced it, and yes it can sneak up on you very suddenly.

I think it's a good idea to brainstorm snack ideas with your DD, and then make sure she travels with some supplies. Bring along a lunchbox with ice pack if necessary.[/quote]
