Crying at every meal

My daugther is 18months old and since she was a baby she cryies a lot at every meal. There are some days she would eat without being fussy but it is soooo rare. Those days she only eat yoghourt, some fruits, crakers and rice. She did not have meat for some time now as she refuse to eat it! I am still breastfeeding and my supply is getting lower and she refuse to take regular milk! Anyone went through the same and figured why their kids are crying?

Hi,

I’m kind of going through the same thing with my almost 2 year old.

He was pretty good with food but for the last 4 months or so, he just won’t have his meals. I’ve been trying all different types of foods.

Today is a perfect example. Tuna pasta bake.. very minimal pasta and he won’t even try it. He has had a tiny bit of noodles and some crisps.

He is running around as normal. No concerns. I just don’t like how minimal he is eating. I came on here for some tips and advice.

my almost 2year dose exactly the same , i’ve been told not to worry along as his eating something. 😵‍💫

As a mum you can’t help but worry right , has your lil ones made any changes or you just going with the flow ??

And is he still having milk ??

Similar situation with my 13 month old son. He has been refusing to eat carbs and food generally unless distracted with toys

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.
