I have the same problem and I am afraid I may have cultivated bad habit sigh..I used to put her in a high chair at the table during meal but she gets restless and did not even want to eat after a few minutes. So I moved her to the exersaucer and placed her in front of the tv to distract her. I know this is so wrong. But I really need her to start eating more . We usually don't eat together at the same time even for dinner so it is hard to cultivate the habit of sitting at the table to eat tog with adults . Maybe I should start now. She is 13mths. When we went on a cruise or go out , we have to give her YouTube to distract her while we eat .

Careful with videos lest she gets hooked on them during meal time. I let my fil do that with my girl and for a while she was hooked on it. Terrible mistake. She would even point at my phone when I didn't give it to her. Decided enough was enough. Slowly weaned her off by giving her a few toys. Then slowly take away some toys until left with one on the table. She still has bad days but I try not to give in and let her watch videos. I sing to her and distract her with questions instead.
