Eating

Can anyone give me tips and tricks on how to get my 1 year old stubborn daughter to eat food!? Ever since she was a baby she would refuse to eat and to this day she is still like that! She will refuse water, juice and pediasure! The only thing she is intaking is her whole milk! I never had to deal with this with my two year old daughter and or with my 1 year old twin sister Amelia who loves to eat!

I feel like a mom who is failing and doesn’t know what the heck she is doing! I feel like I am about to have a breakdown! I have so much on my plate when it comes to these girls and their different issues!

I love my babies to death and I just want what’s best for them! Sometimes I feel they are better off without me and them be with a mom who knows how to really take care of kids how they should be taken care of!

Please if anyone could give me any type of advice on how to get Ryleigh to eat food I would greatly appreciate it! I am lost and dumbfounded at this point!

Maybe some advice on you tube may help showing her you're enjoying your food may make her intrigued? Also making it fun like into a face or something may help/make it into a game how many strawberries can you fit onto your fork

I tried everything with her. I tired not giving her any milk at all per doctors orders and still she refuses to eat. It’s like how in the heck can she grow properly and reach her milestones like she should if she is refusing to eat food. She locks her lips shut, puts her hands in front of her face and pushes our hands away. It’s hard to give her medication because all she does is the same thing she does with food and when I go to put it on the side of her cheek all she does is spit it out. She’s 16 months old and hasn’t had a taste of any kind of food. She somehow and someway has a negative association with food. It has been an ongoing situation since she was 5-6 months old.

That's tough maybe a child eating specialist could help

She’s in feeding therapy she has been in that since last year and it seems like that’s not helping at all either. I hope when we got to Morgantown, West Virginia they can figure out why she isn’t eating for.

Post partum dad

I have a 2 month old. A few weeks ago my husband crashed out because he didn't feel like he was getting to bond with her. I started exclusively breastfeeding around that time and honestly didnt see the big deal. Baby and I left for a few days and when we got back home, everything was fine. He was extremely hands-on. He helped with my meals, her bedtime, bath, stories.....for a few weeks it was great. Then he randomly sounds depressed af. He says our lo is better off without him, he wants to sleep all day , he asks me not to watch tv then tried playing a video game. He refused to reply to me when i asked any follow-up questions. Then he woke up our baby trying to race me to the bathroom first thing in the morning . He's doing a weird mix of crying, trying, and giving up. Im starting to feel like I cant handle him not being able to handle life with baby and just want to be alone. Are there resources for men?

My friend is over from another country but I don't feel like leaving the house

One of my old friend's is visiting where I currently live and we agreed to meet up today but I feel so tired and exhausted from everything that's been going on with me. I feel if I meet her I'm going to end up having another breakdown from the exhaustion which I have been having often. I'm just thinking about how I need to rest to be able to deal with my toddler and go back to work on Monday without feeling like I need another weekend. I'm torn on what to do so I need you guys to help me decide

Weaning

Hello mamas,could I get some advice please with how and what to wean as started this week with my baby but not really what to give and when what time day. Have started with puree vegetables and making them myself and offering it in the evening to my baby but she tends to get irritated and tired and has a few spoonfulls and then gives up and has a meltdown. So I’m questioning myself am I feeding her wrong time of day and what’s best to mix the food with milk or baby rice please.

Do I need to pay anything when my child starts school in September

I'm a new mum and obviously didn't grow up in the uk. I currently pay roughly £640 for nursery fees. I'm wondering if my expenses will reduce when my LO starts school or there'll be other expenses (besides bags, uniform etc) will my expenses be anywhere close to £600 monthly?

People telling you your baby is hungry..

I know people don’t always mean it in a bad way and are trying to relate, but when people say my baby is hungry when chewing his hands. I feed him regularly. He eats pretty much every 2 hours. He isn’t hungry, he just loves chewing and exploring his hands. Or they say something about teething, which it is also not, as he isn’t unsettled with it. I have looked into it myself and can be common and neither of those things! He has done it most of the day since 2 months old.
