Help my 18 month old won’t eat!

I need some suggestions mamas my son is 18 months he use to eat solids great! A month ago he stopped and it’s been a struggle he has three bottles in 24 hours and he’s drinking other liquids but as far as food goes a bite here or there he’s pooping and peeing . He does need tubes put in his ears it’s been ear infection after infection so he’s been sick lots as well as wet cough lately and more on pale side . Someone said it may be his molars coming in I’m sure it has somthing to do but what can I try to give him I’ve tried so many things I’m starting to get worried as well he cries all the time ! Very clingy to only me . I no with the combo of his ears and being sick and teeth it’s Probley all of it 😞

My son doesn’t like to eat when his molars are coming in and sounds exactly like yours. We try to give him soft foods. Mashed potatoes, yogurt melts, stuff like that. Homo milk is also good because it does have some nutrients. Just try to stay calm and know this won’t last forever!! If it gets too worrisome then I’d suggest making a dr appointment

I would try hummus, for a while it was the only thing my daughter would eat. I even started making my own to get some flavour variation going. (It’s also the only thing that really kept her feeling full).

For my youngest she would go for anything soft, cheesy egg pudding being a fan favourite.

Teeth coming in sucks, being sick sucks, ear infections suck. Like you said it’s probably all of it.

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…..

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 😓

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.

Daycare?

Thoughts on daycare?? Truly, I am SCARED to be leaving my kid for daycare. I literally do not trust anyone, not even family (they haven’t given me a reason it’s just trust issues on my end, you never know). He’s turning 3 and I’ve been a sahm the whole time but tbh my man doesn’t make enough for us to move out somewhere more calm . We live in a ‘not so safe’ area in LA and I’m just not used to living here so I just want us to give my son a better life and in order to speed up the process I would have to work.. I do lashes at home and I’d be open to take new clients so I wouldn’t have to look for work but I’m just scared to lose my license 😭
