19 month old not eating😫

Is anybody else’s jan 2022 little one not eating atm? My little boy is just refusing EVERYTHING! It’s stressing me out because he must be so hungry. I have literally tried everything he normally has. Even new things, both hot and cold. So far, the only thing he’ll eat is oranges, apple and grapes. Surely this isn’t enough to keep him going? He’s drinking plenty as well so I’m not worried about fluid intake.

I am in the same situation over here, it has been 2 weeks already and my little one doesn't eat even pasta which was always the go to food fav.

No idea what to do, she seems very hungry at times but she refuses eating, she says no to everything 😭

I took her to the GP and they didn't find anything that could affect her eating so they said that as long as she drinks and is hydrated, just keep doing what I am doing, offering food that at some point she should be back to normal

We are the same but i think its the heat cos my little girl is only eating fruit too and some crackers.

It might be the weather. My LO is eating less too but it is soooo hot. Also has he been poorly? The doc once told me that kids can stop eating for a bit after illness but eventually get back to normal x

Feels so good to know I’m not the only one experiencing this! For about a week or so my LO has been like that and it drives me crazy 🫠 I don’t want him to starve but he will only have oranges , water and breast milk .

Same here, jan baby is not eating proper meals, just snacks, fruits yogurt … I keep trying and eat with her, so I don’t get her food on her plate anymore I just get myself my own plate and than she shows some interest and so I get her to eat a little from my plate that it’s been working tho!

@everyone Thankyou everyone!! I’ve read all the comments and I can literally relate to every comment 😂 yogurt, fruit, only snacks, tried favourite foods etc… I’ve just had a video call with the doctors and it turns out he has hand foot and mouth! Rash has appeared all over his hands this morning. But I think the hot weather, possible teething etc.. has contributed to his lack of appetite too x

Ohh hand foot and mouth is hell!! Goodluck!! Try giving an oat bath that will help with the rashes a little bit!

Same here!!! I have been told he will eat if he's that hungry!!xx

Is this normal?

Is it just my husband that does this? He is able to work from home via his computer and in the mornings and evenings he is on there doing his job. When he is done for the day he tends to stay in the room and either play video games or watch something. He will occasionally come out and play with the girls for a few minutes and that’s it but when I really need him he says he is busy. My daughters are both 1 year old now and I am just wondering how much involvement should he have with them now?
Idk if this is the norm or not…..

Saying NO to buying toys etc

5 year old is getting really envious of others. He is obsessed with items that other kids have at school. I am pestered daily to buy these things in a different style when we already have 3 others. I have seen parents just buying stuff their kid likes which I don't necessarily agree with even when i can afford it. How do you deal with it?

Daycare?

Thoughts on daycare?? Truly, I am SCARED to be leaving my kid for daycare. I literally do not trust anyone, not even family (they haven’t given me a reason it’s just trust issues on my end, you never know). He’s turning 3 and I’ve been a sahm the whole time but tbh my man doesn’t make enough for us to move out somewhere more calm . We live in a ‘not so safe’ area in LA and I’m just not used to living here so I just want us to give my son a better life and in order to speed up the process I would have to work.. I do lashes at home and I’d be open to take new clients so I wouldn’t have to look for work but I’m just scared to lose my license 😭

Tablet for kids

Alright don’t need any negative Nancy’s telling me not to get my 2yo a tablet so if that’s what your gunna do please don’t participate in my poll.

We’re about to move cross country 3+ day trip and my 2yo and 9m hate the car I’m talking scream their heads off till they are out of their seats. We’ve already changed car seats and it didn’t help so I’d like to at least have one entertained and sit next to baby and try and distract her or put her to sleep. Our new car has tvs but since they are rear faced my 2yo can’t see it.

Debating getting her a tablet or dvd player right now on long car rides I end up giving her my phone because I get so overwhelmed sitting in between both of them screaming and crying.

And yes I do bring different toys I bring snacks I play songs try to distract her other ways but for the sake of not losing my mind on this move I think this is best.

-A very overwhelmed and anxious to move mama 😓

Separation Anxiety

My baby is nearly 6 months old and has just entered the separation anxiety stage… this evening I was trying to cook dinner whilst my husband was with the baby and he was just crying every time he couldn’t see me, with full blown hysterical sobbing, and as soon as he saw me again he started giggling and smiling. Any tips on how to stop this? And how long might this phase last?
My husband felt pretty disheartened and upset 😢
