Refusing solids?

My baby is 13 months in less than a week and he’s been refusing solids for the last 3 days. Between Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner yesterday he had around 7/8 little spoons of food. He won’t eat anything he usually likes.

I know he is teething a little bit, but he already has 6 teeth and we never really had this before.

I should add he is still BF, around 4x during the day and still wakes up and feeds throughout the night. He has also been going through a regression it’s been nearly 4 weeks, it got better for the last 3 night and suddenly last night was constantly waking up again….

Should I be worried about solid intake? I feel like he is making up for it by wanting to nurse and it’s been a struggle pulling my tops down and crying throughout the day…

EDIT: He hasn’t had his 12m vaccinations yet, they are due this following week.

Our LB is going through the same and he was 13 months yesterday. He isn't BF and down to 1 formula bottle in am when wakes which will finish this week and cows milk for bed.

He has 2 top molars cut, for the last couple of days he isn't eating anything we usually eat. Although usually picks doesn't eat lots.

I've found he will eat bread, yoghurt, fruit. Going to try him with some soup today.

I feel worried, but know its normal for age, esp with everything going on

Hoping he gets his appetite back, although he does eat at nursery 3 days a week. I'm thinking as his friends do he is too 🤷‍♀️

Think all we can do is keep offering food and hopefully will pick up

Our little one went off food for about 10 days or so and would SCREAM in the high chair. There were a few other bits so we went to the dr and he said it can happen, just make sure it’s available but don’t force it. Make sure there’s water and if he’s wanting to nurse let him.
Now he’s back to normal and eating as usual!

Yep same, 13m next week, she’s barely eating atm and also decided to stop sleeping through as well.

We also still bf around 4 times a day and lately she has been waking often in the night again.

I’ve seen a few people post similar things so I’ve put it down to age but I hope it’s over soon 🫠

Same here! 13 months next week and has been completely off solids for nearly 3 weeks now. I’m going to see a GP because his weight is dropping.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Has anyone died their kids hair a fun color and have any recommendations for kid friendly hair dye that actually works and stays in the hair for a bit? 👀👀👀

She has 3b brown hair and wants kpop demon hunter purple

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too
