in Health and Weight Loss
my toddler has decided that I'm not eating enough and is regularly trying to smush sandwiches into my face.
I've tried telling him "mommys full".
I've tried swatting it away.
I've tried putting the sandwich on his head but that just leads to flying sandwiches.

What do I dooooo?

(Happy Friday folks)

    That;s so cute. Kids like to feed people so just pretend to eat it and make silly mwah mwah mwah noises. Make it a game. That's what I used to do with my kids.

    Ha! Hilarious! I'm a nanny, and I've found distraction helps. "Look, is that a purple elephant in our backyard? You'd better go investigate!" Or I like the idea of pretending to eat it.

    I am somewhat amazed that this is s common thread amongst the toddler set!

    At least he's not belting Let It Go while throwing sandwiches at me!

    Same here! My four year old daughter is the only food pusher in my life. But it's so cute.

    After my niece shoved some piece of food in my mouth and I realized it had already been in her mouth, I had to go with the pretend chewing thing!

    Do you have play food? Maybe have a post-lunch tea party.

    My kid often tries to stuff my face with goldfish crackers. I try to distract her and tell her I don't want any, but Elmo (or any of her other dolls) wants some. Then she pretends to feed it to them. It's adorable.

    I have 2 boys a 4 year old and 2 year old. The both love to eat and guard their food from the other and their dad. lol. On rare occasions my 2 year old will try to feed me stuff. I usually just eat a piece and then tell them "MOMMY IS SO FULL NOW...MMMMM"

    At least it's not pre-chewed? I have very distinct memories of my younger brother as a toddler, taking pieces of banana from his mouth and trying to feed it to our mother.

    You say

    You're right, I'm not eating enough...I'm going to eat your nose / tummy / hand and you make big chomping noises as you grab him and tickle him and plant smoochy kisses all over him saying in a deep voice "imma gonna eat you all up...omnomnom"

    Because you're his mum

    And that's what mums do

    Purple is totally the best color. :)

    This is a normal toddler stage...it probably doesn't have anything to do with your diet/weight loss.
