This toddler is driving me insane!
I've gotten to the point where I have just spent all my sims money to build a granny flat so the grandparents can move in to help with this devil child. He will not eat! Every time they try to fee...

Maybe others have said some of the same... sorry if this is duplicate info!
(I hear you there, I have started utilizing the nanny because I have 2 toddlers, a child, and a baby plus 4 adults... but even with 4 adults it's hard to keep up with the kids!)
Try giving him food on the floor. You can cheat it and put a single serving of food in his inventory (you can either use the parent to give food from inventory or you could just make a single serving... there are a few different ways to do it). Then you can have him eat on his own. You can also serve a meal and then "call to meal" and he will grab his own serving. The game claims that the toddlers are happiest eating in the high chair but the high chair is buggy and a total pain in the butt. There has to be an adult around right there ready the moment that the toddler's done eating. Even having the parent eat at the same time as the child isn't always effective - especially for typical high chair food ("quick meal" type food). The toddler finishes and then starts screaming to be let out before the adult's done eating!
I had this happen but it was because I had the newborn on the same floor. That is definitely a bug because once I moved the newborn to the ground floor, they could bathe him just fine. You could also try choosing the toddler and having him "ask for bath" and see if that changes anything?
I totally get this. As I said, I have 4 working parents (all on different schedules) and a child. The child is able to do minimal things for the toddler but for the most part the child is only capable of caring for himself. I think he can pick up servings and bring that to the child but he can't potty train, comfort, nothing else.
They definitely are cute. And the bugs are definitely obnoxious. But NOT using the high chair has made a significant difference. I just throw a few of those little animal chairs in the dining area (toddlers are able to sit on the bear chair and the couch, but not dining chairs) and feeding them is much easier. But yes, it's irritating to send my sims to do something and then I turn around and they're doing something opposite. They tend to the toddlers when I DON'T want them to and they WON'T tend to the toddlers when I DO want them to.

He will not eat! Every time they try to feed him he throws the food onto the ground and then complains he's hungry. In the mornings after being awake for a few sim hours he decides to remember that he had a nightmare that night and starts cry. When ever anyone tries to comfort him he pushes them away.

He apparently does not like baths because almost every time he is bathed he wants out before he is clean (not sure if this is a bug or not) and I have to start the bathing process all over again

Both parents have full time jobs and caring for this little boy is killing them. They can't eat, they can't sleep. They definetly have no time for themselves. I'm excited to see what happens once I get the grandparents moved in. As hellish as my sims lives are right now I'm ready for baby number two!

(I'm not complaining I just wanted to share my toddler horror story) I will however complain about the toddler bugs they are definitely make caring for this little one a lot harder. Sims constantly pick up and put down the toddler repeatedly for no reason. I've noticed when being read to sleep after the story is done the toddler gets out of bed (angry because he is tired) and then climbs back in to go to sleep. I'm assuming that the random nightmare moodlet when the child isn't sleeping is also a bug. When I click on the energy need to send an EXHAUSTED sim to bed "pick up toddler" is queued instead

He sure is cute though
