My very picky almost 16-month-old has refused to eat almost all day today. I feel like I’m losing my mind. What do I do? Just let her not eat today? I feel like I have nothing left to offer.

Pleaseeee be nice. I’m not doing well and feel like crying lol. My 16-month-old is already very picky and most days are a struggle. I’ve tried many things to change this and nothing has really worked. Her eating habits are the biggest stress in my life right now lol.

She actually eats fairly well for the most part (as in a decent amount of food most days), but it’s like I’m just rotating the same like 5 meals at this point. I offer the dinners to her that my husband and I eat every night, but she won’t even try anything and I won’t force it.

Anyway, I’m not really looking for advice on her pickiness since there’s a ton online about that already.

I’m just wondering if anyone has any advice for a day like TODAY where she’s refusing EVERYTHING—even the foods she likes.

I obviously don’t want her to go to bed hungry, but I have offered so much today with no success.

Do I just let her go to bed without eating much at all today?.. ugh.

Also, feel free to share your experiences with your picky eater to make me feel better haha.

Thank you 😔

Edit: thank you everyone for the wonderful advice and words of encouragement. You HONESTLY all made me feel better. Appreciate it so much.
