hi all,

My 16 month old son dosen' t like to eat or drink anything when we go out.

whenever we take him out to mall, theme parks etc i carry lot of things for him to eat like crackers, fruits, lunch, milk, cereal bars but, he dosen' t eat anything.

This really frustrates me and we cannot enjoy our outing together as a family.

i don' t know what to do pls help.... is anybody else going through the same phase.

thanks,

Start by giving him small quantities of what you eat. I think you should order food that looks attractive. Only then are children going to attempt it.

I hope this helps. The other thing you can do is take him out with some other relative or friend. Let him see another child eat at the same place. I am sure he will try it too.

Take him to MacDonalds and such places geared towards kids... make these outings interesting and I am sure he' ll like it.
