Hello. I can understand how difficult this must be for you. You have clearly tried a lot of things and still struggling. - Try to have a fixed schedule and make it a family activity, especially for the three big meals. - Feed him what you’re having. The child must feel included. - Don’t give milk as replacement. - Give water sips in between meals and during meals if he demands. - Don’t give in to distracting with screens, this will only make things difficult for you in the long run. - Offer him food for 20-30 minutes, if he doesn’t eat, Offer him feed again after 1 hour. - Don’t develop the habit of grazing: it is when you are constantly offering him food or snacks without a window in between, so he nibbles only some amount. - Never force feed, the baby wants to be in control and force feeding makes it worse. Remember: Any habit making or training takes no less than 4-6 weeks. Beyond everything, you’ll need loads of patience.
