MY TODDLER JUST WONT EAT

I am so lost and frustrated… I try my best not to worry about his eating habits but I can’t help but feel like there’s something being done wrong because I see other people’s kids eat multiple times a day. My toddler will only and I mean ONLY eat grits, eggs, chocolate waffle(specifically), yogurt, hashbrowns, beefaroni and macaroni and cheese sometimes fries but literally these are the only things he will eat. I blame myself for not pushing harder for him trying to other foods earlier. He’s maintaining 28 lbs which he has been for months but I’m worried more than before he will not eat anything else. I think he gets his picky eating from me which we always laughed about but today i offered him a mini burger multiple times and he literally almost threw it up when taking a bite. He’s like that with fruits and veggies too I just feel so lost 😭

Mine is the same way and she is been like this since she turned 2 and she is almost 3. I don’t think it has to do with trying different foods earlier because we did that and she was a great eater as a baby. I think it is just a phase now you just have to make sure he gets vitamins. We give her some gummies multivitamins that she loves and also she likes smoothies so I just put some greens on it with yorgut and fruits and she likes it too.

Same. Her Dr. said that’s normal at this age. Their taste buds are evolving to just make sure they are drinking milk and give them what they want. I also bought a juicer to make fresh juices with fruits and veggies since she won’t eat them and giver her a multivitamin gummy to keep up with her nutrition

at this point, you offer food and if they don’t eat, then they don’t eat and you try again a little later. I typically save the food that I give my daughter that she refuses and then offer it to her again the next time she gets hungry. If she still doesn’t eat it I just offer something else. if I notice she’s getting too picky and only eating a couple select foods I stop offering them and offer another group of foods. if she asks for the food specifically I just tell her that we’re out of it to try to get her to eat other things

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…..

Thoughts?

your soon to be brother in law (upon inquiry) told you that only a few kids from the family were attending his wedding because they are over the age cut off..

5 month old activities

Hey everyone my baby is 5 months old and I want to reduce/cut screen time as I have read up on how bad it is what activities did people do to keep their baby entertained. Thank you in advance.

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 😓

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
