At my wits end with food

My LG seems to be regressive massively with food and barely eats anything.
She will eat fruit.
Sometimes yogurt.
Won't eat breakfast, lunch or dinner but will snack at times.
She doesn't drink much milk.
HV has been useless.
She isnt ill or teething.
Having to wait 8 weeks to see dietician.
This has been going on for 4 months.

I am so stressed and feel so lonely regarding this.
I dread every meal time.
😞

This is the case with my little one to no advice just saying your not alone xx

I’m having the same problem with my one year old girl hers started when her first two bottom teeth came through she just don’t want to eat meals she would rather snack when she feels like it your not alone it’s draining and very stressful but your doing the best you can 🥰

My little boy hasn’t eaten literally ever, been trying since 6 months. He’s dropped centiles, I’m waiting to see dietician and feeding therapist, it’s so so stressful! I know exactly how you feel, it’s hard seeing all these babies same age eating loads😫 if you need someone to talk to just message me :)

Sometimes he will eat the odd crisp or fry but that’s literally it!

It's not nice knowing other mom's are going through this but it is somewhat comforting knowing I'm not the only one.
Do any of you know the reasons they refuse food constantly????
Someone mentioned to me a sensory issue and maybe Autism - which worried me a little xxx

Honestly I was thinking same thing some kind of sensory thing and maybe autism :/ xx

@Laura I have done the same with out realising regarding the purees.
Today has been another rubbish day with food... refused breakfast...had a tinybit of lunch and has refused dinner but had some yogurt 😞😞😞

Same, mine drops most things straight on the floor 😔 except fruit

Nursery funding

My child turned 9 months last week. I applied for government funded hours nearly 2 months ago and so well within the required timeframe for the April term, however upon receiving my first invoice without the funding applied and having questioned this, I have now been informed that the stretched funding doesn’t start until 4th May.

Has anyone else been told it won’t start until May?

The government site states it should start from April 1st, and so I intentionally set my nursery start and return to work as the start of April for that reason, knowing that I wouldn’t be able to afford the nursery on my sole income without the funding

NHS job

Anyone work for the NHS and does 12 hour shifts? How do you work around childcare and your partners job?

He has no respect for anything to do with me.

Husband and I decided to separate 3 days ago. I've been sleeping on the floor in the kids room, and we both have to stay in the same apartment for a while. He wont stop pushing little things and I am reaching my limit. Photos in comments

Toddlers

How often are your toddlers asking for food? My oldest who is 3 just finished a whole plate of food and not even 10 minutes later he’s requesting more food. I know he’s going through a growth spurt, but how do you respond to this.

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…..

Identity crisis?

Am I the only sahm who feels like they have lost their identity??? I don’t make money for my family, when I used to make great money. But I refuse to drop my under a year old baby off with strangers.
My husband works so much. But I have no control over bringing in money and I’m a control freak type of person! I feel l like I’m losing my grip because we are kind of broke, but day care would only eat up my income anyways! So what’s the point. I’m a workaholic and now I’m just a twitching bum.
I wish I could work from home but so far that’s a fake dream. I’m almost 9 months pp, and I just need to know these awful mood swings and depression will end soon! Send wine!
