    Plate not bowl?

    DS is 17 months and goes to childcare 2 days a week. Up until today he has refused to eat snacks at CC and when he eats lunch he won't eat much. Today they tried giving him a plate instead of a bowl and he ate everything.

    We were quite surprised! Anyone else with toddlers who does this? I wonder if it's because at home he gets food on a plate and not in a bowl?

    Not sure I can all my girls toddlers anymore, but they have just graduated from plastic plates to "grownup" plates and their eating has improved enormously.

    Ha ha Cass and DH think it's weird!

    Have to say, so relieved that he's eating there. Now just to figure out how to get him to drink when he's at CC.

    We have a range of melamine plates from the zoo and they eat so much better if they pick which animal plate they have!!!
