Christmas is a special time but there can also be a lot of focus on food. As a child that can be even more challenging and as a parent, even more stressful than normal.  

Meals out with friends, large family gatherings at home, dinners at other people’s houses, not to mention the change in routines, the extreme excitement as well as all the different and unfamiliar foods on offer. That’s a lot for a little one to cope with. 

So, don’t worry if they aren’t eating very well at mealtimes, are snacking much more than usual or are mostly surviving on chocolate (it’s only a few days and then you can get back into a good routine) so that you can both enjoy your time together. Have fun and take in the magic of Christmas.
