- Meal time distractions is one of the major issues of concern among parents these days. Distraction feeding stops kids from listening to their bodies. Such kids are likely to grow into adults who have trouble understanding when they are really hungry or comfortably full.
Eating will not get better before we get rid of distractions. This video aims to highlight important methods of weaning your child from distraction feeding/force feeding.

Much needed advice. Am glad I have come across this video at the right time. Will try to put into practice all these tips when feeding my daughter. Thanks a ton.
Were you successful?
Great advice, but my almost 2yr old becomes super cranky without watching TV while eating,it's not even an age where I can explain and she will understand...how do I handle this...
You have to be consistent. Kids will throw tantrums

Same my kid is 2.5 yr old iits difficult for him to understand what i will explain...he just does not listenn n starts crying😢
Ty
Much needed video
Thanks
3.04 but what if one has urgent stuff to do early in the morning, lets say the toddlers biggest sister... if she goes out and the others are still there to stay till s/he finally finishes eating, then no distractions for him/her, right?
Absolutely no problem
Am the child and using this for myself and am 22 😭
Haha, it's helpful information for all!
But how to make understand if he is juz 1.4 years.
Very nice explained but in my case I am staying with my in-laws ...and if I am not giving phone to my baby they will give...if I explain not to give him phone they started arguing with me .😢
I feel if I follow all this advice...my son will be very thin and things he's king in the family
My know😢
Good topic. Just what I was looking for. I will surely try it on my toddler. I am sure it will be difficult to see your baby crying for screentime, but I always wanted to raise my kid without any screentime. Had to start bcz of my maternity getting over soon and then had to rely on others..and to make their life easy !
Thanks a lot dear...Be consistent. Don't be very hard on yourself. It will take time. All thr best.
Is it too late for my 6yo boy? He is very picky in eating. Only eats dal rice, kadi rice doesn’t want to try aything else. I have started giving him chapati but too much stressful for both of us, he starts crying and doesn’t want to eat at all.
Hello mam , 1.my 15th months baby addicted with mobile rymes.he want mobile when i feeding him,he doesn't open mouth if i not play the mobile screening..
2.He don't eat solid foodd
3.not eat with self
What to do
Relax.. See he has developed a habit over a period so it will take time.
You have to be strong and consistent.
Change his place of eating. And be strong and don't show him mobile phone. Tell him if you want to it let's eat otherwise you can go and play. You have to be calm and composed not angry.
Eat along with him . Give him same food to eat.
If doesn't eat at all take him to some other room may be play area..Sit with some toys or boxes or books along when you are making him eat so that he get indulged in them.
Initially we have to distract him mobile.
Let him be if he doesn't eat.
Don't force him.
Make finger foods for him ...Something colourful so that he gets attracted.
Don't use your phone infront of him.
Talk to everyone around. Everyone should behave in a similar manner.
@@MyParenthood Thank you so much much....
@@jakaru633 how is the baby doing now
My 2 year old kid is just not interested in eating..even if he hasn't eaten all day he won't eat..doesn't even look at the food..doesn't open his mouth for the 1st bite also..hardly 3 meals a day is all I can try cz he just doesn't eat..i dread his meal times .kuch bhi nahi khata
Hey dear. It is extremely important to establish a positive relationship of baby with food. Don't be scared. There can be lot of reasons why kids are not eating. We need to identify them. Start slow. Offer less food. Work on presentation. Serve calorie dense food. Also if things are not working you can have a one on one session with me or you can attend my workshop on child eating behavior. If interested please email me on prachi@myparenthood.in
Like the way u said...trust ur kid. True one
Thanks a lot
My 6 years baby girl is not eating food well.she is non vegetarian. Plz give me tips

Hi i need to consult u may i know how it is
Hello everybody, open some story book , engage kid by asking different questions about its pictures, Once ur kid is involved in book, try feeding ur kid
Now a days, Im trying this technique for my 2 year boy to avoid his screen and successful
Useful 👍
Thanks a lot.
My daughter dont open mouth for feeding n if somehow she manage to open it she spits whatever i put in her mouth what to do 😢😢😢😢
Same with me
Can you please tell me how to make child like to eat food my child is literally crying to eat and if she keep a spoon in her mouth it lasts for 10 min to eat
Dear change the texture of the food being given. Give food of different texture. Its not important to eat from spoon. Let child explore the food and eat using fingers... Also eat infront of them modelling is a great way
Well explained...but nothing works when kids grand parents have a habit to eat food in bed and watch tv ....kids see all this...and you can't say anything to them . ....
You are right. Kids do what they see. Family consensus is extremely important
Mine is 15month baby what to do
Heya very explained, but would require immense patience. Have 21 months old baby. She has never been into self feeding used to feed her making sit on the highchair with screentime. But by around 16 months ever since lockdown she started to refuse sitting on the highchair and extremely hyperactive as in doesn't sit still even for couple of minutes. Least interested in food concept. How do I make her practice sit at one place and develop interest in food. Even if the family sits together she is never willing too. And also with her brushing. skinny and underweight child hence doesn't have patience to try out these methods. She can go without eating even for the entire day
Sit where the child feels like ..may be play area, kitchen , near window,in balcony or on bed....but not in front of TV or phones.
Give her toys to play or colours to play whatever she likes..
Sit with her and keep the food near her.
Try making some finger food item initially
Ask her to take one bite..If she eats only one or two bites by herself..That's a success..Feed her after that..
Try to fix the place where she feels comfortable after trying few places after few days.
And stick to that...If she only sits for 5 minutes..its ok..let her go and play..ask her to come back may be after 10-15 mins.
Gradually it will work..I am doing same with my kid..
Takes milk at nite and afternoon about 150 to 100 ml each time and at times early in the morning around 70 to 100. She has a disturbed sleep. Bottle feed.
I know kids are hyperactive but then mommy you have to be patient..Its ok..I know it feels really bad when your child doesn't want at all.But patience is the key.. Some days will be bad but then some will be good..Atleast try..
Just try to stop exposure of TV first..let her eat the way she wants..may be while standing or playing..Try this for one week..and then we can again discuss..I will be sharing my son's videos soon..
One more thing ..try to engage her in cooking activities with you..so that her interest in food increases..I know it is difficult..All the best..
@@jayamahrajan5473 No problems..You can try weaning her from bottle also..Sometimes kids get full because of milk also.so they don't feel like eating..If she likes milk cook something using milk..may be a milkshake or oatmeal, daliya, feed her initially no problems..
@@MyParenthood thanks sweet for your reply. Have tried many other traditional ways of distractions but nothing works. Face turns 360degree.which gives me anxiety. Yeah as said will have to keep patience. Please could you confirm how long should we let go the child without eating. Days n weeks cause she is ok without eating at all.
How old ur kid is ?
My son is 2 n half year old. But he is not habited of our normal meal. He is denying to having it and further regular his meal got bored to him. Without Mobile he just don't intake. Too much stress on me what to do of it. How to make him eat everything. Please me out of this.
Does your child still eat while watching mobile
Great!! Nicely done 🤗👍🏻
Thanks a lot
Is this applicable for 2 year old baby. Kindly reply. Thanks
Yes absolutely
My daughter is 5 years old.. still am feeding only.. no food she eat by herself.. Even her fav food too. I don't know what to do.. I tried with different varieties , coloured foods but everything I have to feed her. And always She kept food in mouth inside. She didn't understand the value of eating. She thought this is one work I have to complete for her.. give me the solution please
My 2year always keep the good in her mouth,
Now she eats everything? Plz reply
Is she eating by herself mam
Thanks 🙏👍
Hard to explain to husband itself he always watch phone while eating and not understanding how to handle kid then 😢
My child is 1.5 years old. How can I help my child
Dear first thing is be consistent. If child wants to see TV or screen give it before meals
My daughter is autisic ..she doesn't eat fast due to hypersensitivity.... what to do????Mam
Hello. Thanks for asking. See the most important thing is patience. We have to be patient with all kids . With kids with special needs we need practice it more. Why do you want her to eat fast? It would be great if you could connect with me on instagram @my_parenthood. We can discuss options and I can connect you with some mothers raising autistic kids.
Hi santosh singh
Ur daughter is how many years old and wat are the symptoms
Mam, my 7 years old child don't eat by self. He takes the meal bite and keep aside in his mouth. He completes one time meal in about 1 hr. How to tackle him?
Hi. I would really like to suggest that don't offer the meals for so long. Offer for 20 mins if child is not eating just take it back. If the child is not chewing try to model Infornt of him. Don't force feed. Let child ask for food. If child never chews the food get assessed by Paed also. Sometimes there can be sensory issue. For further discussion connect with me on my instagram account @my_parenthood
My 2year also like that
can't understand
How can you get angry at a child when you created the habit in the first place?
I watched this while eating😂
Nicely explained, just what I was looking for, it's not at all easy to convince kids while feeding them, I have a 2 year old little boy, he is not interested in eating, it's a big frustration time, it looks very easy while you are telling all the tips, I will definitely try to put into all those tips while feeding my boy, but can you please give me any suggestion to motivate myself, because if babies stomach full means our stomach full🙂
So true....same mine situation...
This is so true. I completely agree with you. I’ve a 2yrs boy now & his feeding time is honestly my stressful time.
Mine baby is 15 month n seriously her feeding time is toughest time of my day 😣😣😣
Same here I m having twin baby girl. So for me it's like big headache for me. It create stress to me
@@learnwithsabi948 same here what did yu do to avoid it

Turn the tv off. Tell them to " give me ur phone until dinner is over"🙄
What about a 15 month baby. How to keep her eating? Mine doesn't play with toys or open her mouth when i try to feed her. She doesn't take finger food whatever i offer she doesn't pick up and eat. Still giving her semi solid food. She doesn't take food. How to make her eat?
Can go without demanding anything for dnt know how long 🤦♀️
Just relax mommy..All kids are different..They achieve different milestones at different time.
1.Give her whatever you eat .Same plate same food.Cook with less spices.
2.Initially just try to make her sit along with you when you are eating or may be with some other family member who is eating.
3. Cook whatever she likes ..Her favorite food. And you have to give her solids now. She might reject initially,keep something as an option but gradually she will eat.
4. Cut all vegetables boil them and saute them .Add salt and other spices over it and give it to her.
5. Make colourful food like colourful Idli or colourful poori ..
6. You have to be consistent for atleast 15 days
7. If she is not ready to sit ,it's ok. Toddlers are full of energy..If you manage to make her sit for atleast 5 minutes, then it's a success.
8.Take her where she feels comfortable..may be balcony or kitchen etc..And make her eat.
9.Initially you feed her but don't be in a hurry .Ask her to self feed in between..You have to be patient..Gradually she will improve.I have seen my son evolving.
10.Some days will be good and others will be bad.But keep trying.
11.Switch on to solid food straight away atleast for two meals. She might not eat..But it's ok.Sometimes we have to be harsh to make kids learn.
12.All the best! Things will workout.
@@MyParenthood thank you i give her few piece of roti with curd bowl in afternoon but she eats just 2-3 times thn doesn't so i try she finishes her curd.
For breakfast she mostly have ragi or oats alternatively and for dinner daliya khichadi , upma, dal with grinded roti mix etc
I try to give her like roti, breads but she takes a piece or two so have to make something semi solid she i can feed her . But these days she is not eating anything.
@@jyotiahlawat1121 Don't give her roti. It's completely fine.Even my son doesn't like chapati.Give her vegetables to eat with curd.
Make soups for her with loads of vegetables.
Add loads of vegetables in daliya to make it colourful and thick in consistency.
Give her ragi and aalo chila ..you can also make ragi and aaloo cutlets..Stuff little cheese in it as a treat.
It's ok if she eat only 2-3 bites..Try again after 15 -20 minutes .If she rejects completely ask her what she wants to eat..Take her to kitchen and let her explore different food items in refrigerator.
She might be teething..While teething taste buds gets affected. Kids dont feel like eating anything..Give her cold carrot to bite on..Make ragi biscuits for her at home.
Give her home cooked crunchy snacks .
Give her warm water with very little salt to drink..
One last thing Roti is only wheat flour..only carbohydrates nothing else..So try other options..Don't worry if she not not eating.
Make sure to make different soups for her as it would help her with teething also.
How is the eating going with ur baby ? I'm in same boat with my 17 month old please update
@@alankrithainsights3824 hi my daughter is 2.5yrs now
She is doing fine with eating. It was her teething phase I guess she lost interest for a while but I kept trying. She doesn't eat by herself though. She wants me to feed her.
Thanks for the video. I have 2 1/2 years boy. I am successful so far in raising him without screens. I am able to feed his meals while making him play. But as he growing, he is not accepting food that easily nowadays. During Food time, when I try to get him food, he starts to tell No food several times. Due to pandemic my husband stays home, so he is helping to distract him to various ways and I feed him food. I am having least hope to feed him without someone help. I battled myself to raise kid without screens. Please let me know which age kids starts to sit and eat and do self feeding. Now my kid is not showing intrest in food at all. My kid wants to eat plane rice without any sabji curry or dal or curd. Please provide some suggestions.
Dear first of relax, stay calm.
This happens with a lot of moms.
Sometimes, they throw tantrums, sometimes they don't want to eat, sometimes they don't like the taste. There can be n number of reasons.
But your job is to give them food to eat, let them decide when to eat and how much to eat.
He will learn gradually.
Try not to distract him from anything.
Just serve the food, if he doesnt eat let him be hungry. Trust me he will definitely ask for something to eat when he will be hungry.
If he wants you to feed him , you can do that
But try to ask him to self feed atleat 2- 3 bites .
Don't loose hope.
Kids grow up gradually and learn these things
We just have to be consistent.
Come what may don't show him tv or phones.
You are doing a geat job by being aware about the ill effects of distraction feeding
At this age kids may reject few foods and some foods are fav. Always serve a fav food along with new food. This will give them chance to try the new food.
Same with my 2.5 yr daughter only white rice wd out any salan
How is it going now? I'm in same boat please share some tips
Need 3 hrs to complete dinner or lunch or anything 😓
Same problem😔😔 sometime I used to slap him😔
Please don't let the food on table for more than 20 mins
My boy is 19 months old. Weight gaining is very low.Nowadays he is not taking food properly. In laws told me to do distracted feeding. Now i am forced to do so. How can i overcome this?
Dear if the weight gain is low there might be some other cause also. Get the height and weight checked by the paed. While distraction feeding kids might eat less also. So try not getting into that. Trust your child and give him chance to self feed or you can also feed him initially. Feed him in a separate room with less distractions.
@@MyParenthood Thank u. His birth weight 3.65. Current weight is almost 10 kgs. Height is 79 cm. Is it normal mam?
@@jeenaabhi5271 Dear it would be great if you get the weight checked by the pediatrician. The weight should tripple by 1 year as compared to birth weight but still a lot of factors matter. Get it checked by pediatrician.
@@MyParenthood ok thank u
How is it going now? My baby also weighs very less even at 17 months....she eats only when distracted that too semi solids.please advice
Hellow mam, I stops distracted feeding since 3 days & my son is 20 months old.... Since 3 days he doesn't eat any thing whole day not even one spoon too after a whole day he only take one meal of night since 3 days.... So i am wooried about that.... Will he eat or not ... I will continue to make him hungry or stop... Because I can't see him hungry 😣
Hi dear. So proud of you. I know its not easy. Is your child drinking milk un between
No...he is not even drink milk in morning & before bed time...I think he doesn't like a taste of milk......
@@nehapatel1828 hey dear don't worry. Try to be consistent. Make him sit with you in a separate room while eating. You can narrate stories for start to get his attention . You also eat along with him in a separate but similar looking plate.
He will gradually realize that no screen if on has to eat food. Cook finger foods for him so that he can hold in hand and eat.
Okk.... Thank you mam
hey neha, just wanted to ask.. have u stopped distraction feeding successfully.?
My toddler is 2 year's but I'm help less , I can't make him eat with out watching?
Dear relax. Start by changing the distraction.
1. Try to make him see screen before feeding . Reduce the screen time gradually.
2. Try to make him eat in playroom, read books.
3. You have to be consistent and firm
4. You have to be strong
5. Make attractive food.
Try all these things. If things doesnt work we we can do 1:1 session
@@MyParenthood thanks a lot for reply
What's 1:1 session?
