Slow Eater
Oct 26th, 2007 by Jesslyn
Lyon has a very bad habit lately, she very slow in eating her food during meal time. most of the days I cannot stand the her slowness. I have to constantly remind her to swallow her food, so that I can feed her next scope. But this girl of mine, just take her own sweet time and keep the food inside her mouth. I have to keep telling her: faster swallow, else the food become worm, then will get stomachache.
But for junk food or sweet, she can eat pretty fast, no need to remind her. For my kids meal time food, they are lucky as MIL will cook specialty for them, sometimes can see colorful soup or dishes for them, such as carrot, tomato, corn, broccoli and others. Yet she still behaves like that.
She very clever to argue with you when we remind her to swallow her food. She will say:
“ I am chewing now lar! You no see meh?”
“ My mouth small mah, have to eat slowly!”
“ Don’t put big scope into my mouth, my mouth very small!”
“ I already eat very fast lor! How fast you want ar?”
See, you will vomit blood or not when listen to all sort of funny excuses! *sigh*
Will this due to poor appetite? Does there any supplement can take in order to boost up appetite? I ever let Wien try on Appeton last time and she did improve in eating speed but my concern is Wien never keep food in her mouth. She is either eat or no eat when she is at Lyon age now. Mummy is headache now, I want her to eat more, I want her to look more big size as her size really small as compare to other kids at her stage now.


yeap yeap…above picture very cute lah…Lyon very panai to follow her sister emotion lah..cute..
Har har…
by the way, your MIL is great to cook so nice food just for the kids….
well at least they eat

They look so cute. Excuses? My sister said she had small throat when she was young.
all kids oso like that. my Ian oso eats very slow esp on food he doesnt like.. i oso vomit blood long time ago lor.. but dont worry, kids will come out of it.. ( i hope so on Ian)
lol. kids very smart in giving excuses eh. msau’s dotdot got small eyes, ur dotdot got small mouth.
This is a common problem among children. I used to have this problem with Tim & Emily, I am glad both of them grew out of it.
she will get over this later, Jess. Just be sure she still drinks milk and also her regular vitamins as food supplements.
btw, got sth for you in my blog — pls check it out. thank you.
take care and love to the girls.
cut smaller pieces for her la easier to swallow. I give jayden Appeton multivit, it boost the appetite. It worked for J.
hahahah so cute the pic…i can see one small cutie copy cat!!!
So cute of them wearing the same top. Sigh… we’re in the same boat. XY oso eats vy slowly (on her own). So sometimes, I cannot stand her, I’ll feed her (with lots of scolding, of coz).
