Terrible eater!

My 11 month old is a terrible eater, he won’t eat breakfast or lunch, just throws it, he will eat dinner but only puree if spoon fed. He doesn’t even drink a lot of milk, is this normal? My 1st was such a great eater.

Some babies are just like that. Mine is also 11months and doesn't eat much. When I spoke to the HV, they advised to keep offering, not force him and just be very patient. If you are genuinely worried about how much he eats, maybe have a chat with your HV for advice.

Same here, except mine only has a little bit of breakfast (ready brek)

Same here. I try not to get in my head about it. As long as LO still has enough wet nappies and is gaining weight I’m counting it as a win !

It’s actually more common at this age to eat very little than it is for them to eat a whole plate of food and social media is a huge problem for this kind of vision. Mommas think their babies at this age are eating huge plates of food I can absolutely tell you that’s the minority, infact the majority only eat a couple of tablespoons at this age, if that x

Only really eats lunch and then has a good appetite. Breakfast and dinner is just picking on things and throwing things

My little one is the same! He’s never been a great eater but at the minute he literally won’t touch anything apart from his breakfast or if I give him a pouch. He’s always preferred his milk and I feel like I’m giving him more milk to make sure he’s getting enough intake🫠

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…..

Saying NO to buying toys etc

5 year old is getting really envious of others. He is obsessed with items that other kids have at school. I am pestered daily to buy these things in a different style when we already have 3 others. I have seen parents just buying stuff their kid likes which I don't necessarily agree with even when i can afford it. How do you deal with it?

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 😭

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 😓

Separation Anxiety

My baby is nearly 6 months old and has just entered the separation anxiety stage… this evening I was trying to cook dinner whilst my husband was with the baby and he was just crying every time he couldn’t see me, with full blown hysterical sobbing, and as soon as he saw me again he started giggling and smiling. Any tips on how to stop this? And how long might this phase last?
My husband felt pretty disheartened and upset 😢
