Okay so I'm not sure if someone has posted. Anything like this. But I have a friend whose daughter just won't eat anything...They offer everything and when I mean everything I mean like baby food, adult food. She's about 20 months now, and weighs less than 20 pounds the last time he checked.

I want to help him. I just don't know how.

Have the baby's parents checked with the doctor to see if there's a medical reason why she won't eat, or if she's just being picky? There's gotta be something she'll eat, it's just a matter of figuring out what it is. Is she still breast/bottle fed?

I doubt it if she's still being breast fed. She could be stressed because the parents are getting divorced. But he says she eats very little and then just starts throwing food, even if he sits there and feeds her. But she's also very hyper-active...I heard giving candy to a kid might reverse that. But I've asked..she's probably going through a phase.

Mines is a picky eater and is only 8months I think Im glad she is still being bottle fed so we try to feed her but she either eats it happily or acts like im poisoning her.

BUT she loves sold food so we sometimes feed her what ever we are eating and thank god she usually eats that.


Some kids tend not to eat due to stress or being very picky eaters! if she talks maybe you guys should ask her what she wants to eat, Or try a quesadilla with cheese and chicken. or soup...Who doesnt like soap biggrin

Good luck I hope everything goes okay Dont forget to ask her doctor too D:

You dont have too its just...My kid is really weird eatting habits at 8 months and I like to read what to watch out for

Niko, maybe imageshack would work better than photobucket? I've used it a few times to upload pictures. They look small at first, but people can click them to make them bigger. I don't know if it would make them a lot bigger, big enough to read easily, but it might be worth trying so you don't have to type all that out. Or you could try looking up the magazine and the article title to see if they put it online too. I looked, but I couldn't find that particular article.

Sorry, my apologies for the delay in my reply. whee

I've reuploaded the pictures in a bigger size to see if that will help. If that's not big enough, I'll try imageshack (which I haven't used before) or I'll type it out. 3nodding
