Picky Eating One Year Old or Teething?

We are going through this too and a couple of weeks ago my one yr old was teething really bad and he was only wanting certain things to eat as well. It is better now that his gums are not as swollen but he was extremely picky and yes chips were one of the only things he ate one day. I don't give him chips regularly but he screamed until I did and he ate them and I had some peace. I know some moms are cringing reading this but it isn't every day and it was actually only twice. I think teething effects their eating so much and you just have to do what works.

It could very well be teething, but the fact that she likes chips makes me think its behavioral. Chips are hard, so they would be painful for teething. If I were in your shoes, I would make the same healthy eating requirements of all the kids in the house. Ex: sandwiches and fruit for lunch, but chips are only for special times (that way she isn't seeing her brothers get something she can't have). Bottom line- if she only has healthy things available to her, she will eventually have to eat them :-). Good luck!

We had to rid our house of sweet stuff. And no one gets chips unless they eat the main portion of the meal first. Because my youngest wants the junk first and wont eat.
It is picky eating on our end.
Good luck.

OMG! This is exactly what is going on with us. Carter has gotten FIVE teeth at once!!! I didnt realize why he was so cranky until I felt in his mouth and felt new teeth WAY back there. He too has not been wanting his milk/food as usual. He never rejects any food...until now. So, I do believe its his poor toofies!

Why dont you try giving her some tylenol a few times a day?
