1 year old refusing to eat

Hi everyone, i need some advice . My 1 year old girl refusing to eat anything except fruit yogurt, cheese sticks or garden peas. When she was younger i used to give her purée of meat and veggies, she liked it. Anything i am trying to feed her with spoon she refuses straight the way doesnt even taste it, however even i let her to mess around and eat herself she barely put anything in the mouth. I am afraid she will start loosing weight or wont get enough nutrition. In this case i am delying and still giving her baby formula 2-3 times a day, as she dont like milk either. Does anyone else has this problem? Any advice? Thank you !

maybe she’d like a better variety of foods. my 1 yr old started eating better when i made meals look cute and fun to eat. try making fun shaped sandwiches or a pancake with a happy face on it!

I was told that there are some days that your child won’t eat n if that happens they need to stay hydrated they will eat if they are really hungry but my son he’s 2 an he’s very picky

Havent tried mac and cheese yet, but i dont know if its a coincidence , but everytime i tried to give her chicken she is not well afterwards. Do you make the nuggets yourself?

I try to give her something new every few days, she is not very keen on trying new things . the happy face idea sounds good. She used to like pancakes as long as its mixed with strawberries, however today she just picked them out and left the pancakes 🥹🥹

i’m going through the same thing. my pediatrician told me something that helped me feel a little less worried, she said it’s up to you what you offer them but it’s up to them what they eat. just continue to give her nutrient rich foods & let her lead the way. (toddler charcuterie plates have been my go to for lunch& dinner for the past month)

We had a tough time transitioning to milk and solids foods! I kept the formula for a while because I also worried about the nutrition. As she started eating better food, she still refused milk. I eventually had to mix small amounts of milk into the formula to get her used to the taste and gradually added more milk until finally she liked it!

shower infront of children

Is it weird to shower infront of your children, or your children see you naked?
At what age should this stop?

I’m just looking at what everyone’s thoughts are as I have a 7 month old and at the moment it’s hard for me to shower without him getting upset.

We contact nap atm, otherwise I'd shower when he sleeps!

It’s easier to bring his play mat into the bathroom whilst I shower so i can at least wash, else i have to wait for my husband to arrive home at 5/6pm.

Keen to see what people's opinions are and how other people do this!

GIRL DADS TAKING DAUGHTER TO BATHROOM IN PUBLIC

If a girl dad needs to take his daughter to the bathroom in public and there are no family bathrooms … I swear video online of a dad saying he uses the women’s bathroom but always knocks and announces ‘girl dad helping my daughter go to the bathroom’ and I love that idea and mens rooms are disgusting but wanted to see everyone’s thoughts

Dummies

What’s everyone’s views on dummies? Are you planning to use them and if so at what age ? I am breastfeeding and my midwife said to avoid them as it might effect feeding but baby is feeding really well now and he has now found his thumb to suck for comfort ! I would prefer him to use a sterilised dummy than his hands that might carry germs but he is only 3.5 weeks not sure if it’s too early ?

Ebf bottle refusal

I want to introduce a bottle so my partner and mum can feed baby every so often but she hates it! Have tried breast milk and formula and am using mam bottles. She also isn’t a fan of dummies. Goal is to give her formula as I hate pumping!
