Have you tried ignoring Alex while she eats? I mean, give her food and then remove audience... like turn your back and eat your dinner while she eats hers. I find that Grey eats the most when he's not interacting with me.
She certainly eats better when we're not hovering over her watching every bite, yeah.
Usually we eat as a family, and Michael and I mostly talk to each other. (This was Michael's gaming night, and so he wasn't with us at the table.) I have noticed that, since we started doing family meals instead of feeding her first and then having our meal after she was asleep, she's been eating more food.
Sometimes she eats large amounts of food. Sometimes she eats almost nothing, and I manage to control my reaction to it. This was not either one of those kinds of nights.
