Embarassed I never should of started this....

Lately I have been giving the babies veggies in the evenings. Just some carrots and peas and green beans. Well now Tatum comes to me every single night (AFTER she has already eaten her veggies for the day mind you) and whines and cries for more. She doesn't bark - just cries. Cries, cries, CRIES for veggies! And I know that's what she wants because I'll look at her and say, "Tate, WHAT?" and when I get up she leads me straight into the kitchen - stands in the exact same spot that she eats in....and just stares at me. She looks at me like I am completely insane for not having another bowl of veggies waiting for her. I just do not know what to do with her. She will do this for the longest time! And to be quite honest it is driving me nuts! lol.

Should I just quit giving them to her or what? When she eats them she acts like she is STARVING - she just inhales them! I seriously have to take a video of this...you guys would die. lol. You'd think I haven't fed her in days or something the way she eats them...it's crazy! And last night she even threw them up, her peas and carrots. Well come to find out, she has been swallowing them WHOLE! Every little green pea and every little cubed carrot came out the same exact way it went in! WHOLE!

OMG. She has to have something wrong with her lol. She eats too fast and she is constantly hungry...this is NUTS!! She is crying right now for more dang veggies. What do I do??? I can't just keep feeding the little oinker!

Omg help...someone please help lol....do any of your babies do this?? Please tell me I am not the only one who has an oinklet

Hmm.... I'd say if she's throwing them up, she probably doesn't need any more.

Have you tried hand feeding her so she doesn't eat them so fast? What kind of dog food are you feeding her, and how much? How much does she weigh? Over/underweight?

I think it's great your baby likes veggies, so I would keep feeding her. Maybe you can feed them to her as treats, so she has to earn them.

Don't laugh, but I saw a Dog Whisperer episode of a dog that kept eating her poo and they found out it was a deficiency. Started giving her bananas and that cured it. So, do you think that this is a sign that something is missing from her diet?

My dogs love most veggies too. I start with a little pineapple and end with those whole baby carrots (raw). That takes them awhile to eat, especially since they keep stealing them from each other.

I wish you luck. An unusual problem for sure.

Nope you're not! Gucci is an oinker too, he does this with food and cheerios because that's all he gets, otherwise he'd most likely do it for everything!

He gobbles all of his food up and then licks the bowl clean and then proceeds to stare at me and stare at where the bag is at then back to me .. then the kaos begins... he starts tearing up everything in site and barking and whining PURE DESTRUCTION lol .. He will literally eat 4 WHOLE servings a day with no problem (I only allow 2 sometimes 3 depending). He does the same thing with the cheerios, I have to distract him to get away from where they are and keep him busy .. DRIVES ME NUTS ...

I really don't know what to do about it myself, maybe I can get some advice to. I have recently ignored the behavior and it's gotten a bit better. Another thing I've done is break down his feedings into smaller feedings 4 times a day when he's having a chubby day.

Maybe you can do that with Tatums Veggies? Just a few at a time several times a day? instead of one whole serving. I don't know how much help that would be but it may do a little bit of good as she will realize they are coming more frequently and she doesn't have to worry that the veggies are "gone forever"? A little reverse Psychology

She threw them up last night - not tonight, and I think it was because she ate them too fast and was swallowing them whole...not because she got too much of them

I will definitely try the hand feeding thing. I have done it a little here and there, but for the most part I just put a little bit in a bowl for her and let her eat them. I do like giving her green beans as they are fillers and I think it helps her NOT go to the food bowl so much during the day However, it seems now that she just wants more green beans! Or carrots or peas, or whatever I'm giving her. I just can't win lol.

Awww , she is soo cute ...how can you resist that little face give her the veggies ...

No sorry , I'm a pushover. I can't resist her little face and it's only on a screen

Maybe you can give her a little carrot by hand instead of in her bowl so she can't eat it so fast and will maybe chew it more. Maybe give them as treats throughout the day so she doesn't think they are another meal ?

Thanks Actually, I think it's just that she is a little piglet - LOL. She LOVES to eat...a little too much She eats a great food - Natural Balance Potato & Duck and she loves it. She is just the type of baby that would eat all day long if you let her

LOL I loved reading your post girl! I just laughed and laughed at the, "when he's having a chubby day" thing - LOL! Isn't that sooo true. Tatum has chubby days ALOT lol Gosh, WHERE do they put it all!? I just don't understand where it goes in these tiny little bodies of theirs! How can something so itty bitty eat like a HORSE? lol...

I think you're right - maybe she really does think that her little veggies are "gone forever" - LOL. Good grief...what a little oinklet I just might try what you mentioned and start giving them to her little bits at a time throughout the day instead of one bigger serving

I gotta tell ya though, it is so nice to hear that I am not the only one with a baby that eats like there's no tomorrow!

Awww, aren't you sweet, thank you! Haha...trust me, that little face of hers gets her plenty...but mommy is trying not to give in this time - and it's VERY HARD She had given up for a little while and just started licking me but now she is back at it and is crying again. Sigh. I know one thing that would stop it is telling her that it's time to go night night, then I'll just go and put her in the bed. It's pathetic that I have to do that but I know it'll work lol. She will just lay down and go to sleep.

SIGH! I am going to try giving them to her by hand tomorrow, and am going to give her smaller amounts throughout the day instead of a bunch at once, like someone above just mentioned

Oh Brooke I know just were you are coming from. These three love veggies and fruit too! They each have their fav. For Bogey is is oranges. All I have to do is start to peel one and he start doing FLIPS! Pebbles is raw baby carrots, celery and GRAPEFRUIT kinda girl YES I own a bunch of crazy out there little ones. Doodlebug is my baby and will eat anything. Not to mention watermelon, cantelope, cucumbers, green beans, popcorn But I make them earn their treat, they always have to do a trick for mommy

I feed Natural Balance too plus I add canned pumpkin to the mix once a day so my pupsters get a lot of veggies too. I don't see the harm in giving them to her if she is hungry. If you think she is eating too much and she really wants the veggies cut back on her food a little. It sounds like you are feeding the tiny cut up frozen stuff, what if you gave her raw baby carrots like I give me guys? Maybe she would take her time eating and slow her down a little. If you are giving them as a snack I would just cut out the other treats you give her and balance things out.

Haha! Well trust me it's VERY hard not giving in It just about kills me! It's so cute cause she cries just like a little puppy does...she has ALWAYS done this and has never stopped, even now at 2 years old. Her little noises she makes just get me every time! Still trying to be "good" and not give in lol...

Well girl, your Doddlebug and my Tatum sound VERY much alike - lol. She will eat anything too. Come to think of it, I don't think I have given her ANYTHING in her entire life that she WOULDN'T eat Stedman on the other hand is my picky one. He will only eat what he wants, WHEN he wants

Oh and yes, she is eating the frozen veggies. I steam them for her and Steddy I will have to try the raw baby carrots and cut them up for her and Stedman too. She will choke to death trying to eat whatever she can fit into her mouth lol, while Stedman on the other hand won't touch any piece of "whatever" if it is too big. Geez, are they the total opposite or what, lol.

Thanks for all your help girl - you are always so great!
