 Been there
Hi Rebecca,
My two boys were in the same situation. One would eat so fast so that he could go over to the other bowl and gobble up his brother's food.
I feed one in the kitchen, alone. I take the other one into the bathroom, close the door, and I sit on the "throne" to keep him company. He is not stressed out and can relax and eat.
When they are both done, they lick eachother's empty bowls, and then I take them both in the living room for hand-fed "dessert", like broken up treats or cheerios.
I ask them if "they ate nice", and then they do the happy dance on the couch!
Eating seperately has really helped the chubby one slim down, and the skinny one attain normal weight. |
