Most likely, your daughter is manipulating you, using her feeding time to gain your attention or holding on, till you cave in & give her something of her choice; or else, meal times have become such an unpleasant experience that she associates food with sadness. Get her involved in your cooking, also ask her choice for each meal & if she refuses, remind her that she is being what she has asked for! It is a give & take situation sometimes

Next Steps

Keep a food diary, so that association can be made.

Health Tips

Interaction, preferably play-based, is the key to bonding.
