My first step was meeting with a dietitian. Then, an occupational therapist (OT) came to our house for an assessment and advice on how to make my daughter eat.<\/span>&nbsp;(This was all covered by OHIP.)<\/p>\n<p><span>I kept logs of what she ate, changed our eating habits, and sleuthed out her sensory preferences\u2014and some changes made a huge difference. Here\u2019s what worked for us:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>I night weaned&nbsp;<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span>I had been breastfeeding 24\/7\u2014including nights, since we were co-sleeping and the baby nursed whenever she wanted. Because of that, my doctor suspected that she was getting too many calories at night, and that was making her disinterested in food during the day. So I <strong>night weaned<\/strong> (which required some sleep training) to see if that helped. And it did! She was noticeably hungrier.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>I learned about \u201ceating windows\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span>One of the first things the dietitian had me do was write down <\/span><i><span>when<\/span><\/i><span> we ate on a typical day. She told me that kids generally need three meals and two snacks a day, each 2.5 to 3.5 hours apart. As a devotee of \u201csleep windows\u201d and \u201cwake windows\u201d from all the reading I\u2019d done on baby sleep and <strong>sleep training<\/strong>, \u201ceating windows\u201d or \u201cfeeding windows\u201d made total sense to me. In the same way that a baby needs to be tired enough to nap well, kids need to be hungry enough to eat well. After they\u2019ve been awake for a certain amount of time, they need a nap. If it\u2019s been a certain number of hours between meals, they need a snack. I added a morning snack into our routine, and changed the timing of our afternoon snack and dinner. It helped get us off the <strong>\u201csnacks all the time\u201d<\/strong> habits we had fallen into, and it did seem to help her eat better. (We started this a little early because of her eating issues\u2014many kids aren\u2019t ready for timed meals until they\u2019re closer to two years old.)<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>I served protein with every snack&nbsp;<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span>At first, I was convinced my kids couldn\u2019t go for hours between snacks. But I learned that was because my snacks tended to be all carbs, which were quickly digested. The dietitian explained to me that adding protein to snacks was key to making them more filling. I tried thinking of snacks as mini-meals, following her rule of thumb of trying to serve at least two food groups for all snacks, and three for meals. My kids\u2019 snacks transformed from a pack of Goldfish crackers into crackers, apple slices and cheese, and they stayed full longer.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>I improved our eating \u201chygiene\u201d<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span>Through my OT, I learned that just like there are things you can do to your bedroom to <strong>improve your sleep hygiene<\/strong> and make sleep more likely (like turning down the lights) there are things you can do to your environment that make kids more likely to eat. We started sitting down to eat at the table together, even for snacks. We ate without screens or toys, to help them focus on the food, and tried to socialize over meals, too\u2014even if that meant playing peek-a-boo with the sandwiches.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It helped that this was during COVID, so we were all at home and had nothing on the schedule. As a side benefit, I found it calming to take a break and sit and eat so often.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>I tracked her eating patterns&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span>For a few days, I charted how much both my kids ate. I discovered that my son woke up hungry, eating the most at breakfast\u2014the most common pattern for little kids. My daughter actually ate the least at breakfast\u2014but she was starving by snack and lunch. And, she was still well-rested enough to be in a good mood at that point. Lunch, I realized, was the sweet spot.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>I had been serving easy-to-make, kid-friendly convenience food for lunch, and more complicated new foods for dinner, and I was continually frustrated that she was only eating her lunch and refusing dinner. When I shifted to offering her those new and healthy foods at lunch instead\u2014earlier in the day, before she got tired\u2014she was way more likely to actually try them.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>I looked at textures, and sweet vs. salty foods<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span>I looked at what she was&nbsp;eating and tried to look for patterns. Turns out, unlike me, my daughter didn\u2019t delight in sweets, but she loves salty foods. And she likes sharp tastes\u2014old cheese, mustard and garlic.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Then I thought about texture. Lots of little kids prefer crunchy foods, and mine does, too. She wouldn\u2019t eat cooked peas (too mushy), but when I offered frozen ones, which have a harder, more predictable texture, those were a hit. Once I figured that out, I discovered she would eat frozen pomegranates, too. I started cooking my pasta al dente, and <strong>steaming veggies<\/strong> just for a minute or two instead of boiling them, so they\u2019d have more crunch. Now I know that for her, firmer textures always lead to a happier, more enthusiastic eater.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>I practiced the \u201cdivision of responsibility\u201d<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span>The dietitian taught me about what\u2019s called the Division of Responsibility, a research-backed method created by dietitian and family therapist <\/span><span>Ellyn Satter. The idea is that arguing with kids and trying to get them to eat \u201cthree more peas\u201d before leaving<\/span> <span>the table stops them from learning to tune into their own bodies to know when they\u2019re hungry or full.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Instead, parents are advised to <strong>control their side of things<\/strong> only. In the division of responsibility, grown-ups are in charge of what food is offered, where it\u2019s offered, and when\u2014and children are in charge of deciding what they will eat and how much they\u2019ll eat.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>I liked the idea of having fewer power struggles at meals, but I was confused: I knew kids needed to taste foods a lot before they liked it. How were we ever going to make progress if my picky eater never tried anything new?&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Then I was introduced to something that made it all make sense for me: something called \u201cfood exposure.\u201d Turns out, my kid didn\u2019t have to <\/span><i><span>eat<\/span><\/i><span> food to get used to it. Just seeing the food on the table counted as a food exposure, as did her helping me wash the veggies before dinner, or seeing me eat foods and talk about them. (\u201cMmm, these carrots look good! Let\u2019s hear if they make a big crunch when I bite them!\u201d)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>None of these new habits fixed her picky eating completely\u2014but these seven changes did make a noticeable impact in how she ate. She\u2019s three now and still the kind of kid who will eat just the icing off a piece of cake and leave the rest, but I\u2019m OK with it, because now she also eats pepperoni sticks, pasta, carrot sticks, oatmeal and yogurt, too. I can work with this.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>When we went back for follow-up bloodwork a few months after this started, my doctor looked a little surprised at the results. \u201cShe\u2019s back on her growth curve, and her iron levels look great!\u201d she said. <\/span><span>\u201cGood job, Mom.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I remember the day I knew my daughter had an issue with food.
