10.5 month old won’t eat!

Is anyone on here struggling with getting their baby to eat solids?? My girl will be 11 months may 7th and I can’t get her to eat anything other than milk. She doesn’t explore with her mouth like a lot of babies. She’s a die hard thumb sucker so I feel like that contributes to not eating. If I put finger foods on the table she just plays with it and if I try a spoon it makes her upset. I find myself constantly panicking because everything I read is after 12 months you should start to worry and that’s around the corner. I feel like I’ve tried all the tricks also. I welcome all advice to anyone experiencing the same issue. My oldest will be 16 in June and I remember her also struggling with solids but I forget all the small details of how I was able to get her to eat.

Same with my 9.5 months baby! I even started to introduce her our salted food so she can like it! But she doesn’t wanna it! She only wants her bottle!! I tried finger food and different textures but she isn’t interested to taste anything, she only spit food out!

I have a 9 month (almost 10 month old) and he still mainly enjoys pouches, his teething crackers sticks. I’ve been able to occasionally give him some bites of eggs or a few spoons of spaghetti but he’s not downing “meals” like others share. I try not to compare and of course I’ve mentioned to my pediatrician but it’s like not we can make them eat all that food if they’re not interested! ❤️ don’t stress yourself :( they mainly still need their milk for nutrition and I’m sure after 12 months you can bring it up with your dr!

I’m going through the same thing. My baby just turned 10 months

I have the opposite problem! My baby has hated her bottle for months and it's been a struggle to keep her drinking. She much prefers what we're eating.

My baby is about to be 11 also May, May 6. Doesnt grab anything.
I can feed her
But she will not grab😞or use a spoon. So im with you girl!

My daughter will be 10 months in the 21st. She isn’t super interested in foods either and her ped keeps saying she’s delayed. I offer her food several times throughout the day and in the rare occasion she does try to eat it, she gags until she throws up. I know gagging is normal, but i feel like what she does is not so normal. If it’s too runny (purées) she immediately spits it out and if it’s too big or chunky, she gags. Really mashed potatoes is the only thing I can sometimes get her to eat.

Men gaze?

Anyone else’s husband very vocal about not liking the “plastic” look? Like everytime he sees a girl with lip injections or heavy makeup up he’s just like “ I don’t know how people like that. It’s not attractive to have all that crap going on”. But like all these of models and junk are all plastic 😅 he dosnt do any of that but I know ALOT of men do. Like I believe him but sometimes I wish I could look more like some of them because my lips are thin and after kids my boobs are saggy but he insists that he loves my body the way it is. Idk just thinking

I don’t like my toddler.

My little one was a easy baby. So loving. Even entering toddlerhood the big feelings moments were not nearly as horrible as they are now. She listens well and we hardly have to repeat ourselves until she says okay mommy or daddy. This past week her behavior has been horrible. She is giving me nasty looks when I am smiling at her. She crosses her arms at me. She screams at the top of her lungs saying go away, leave me alone, no, etc. We have her in preschool half time and her teachers have no complaints, she is always very passive and friendly. To top it off, she hits me so much. She will dig her nails into my arms and swing her arms and hit me. She will also use her head to try to hit me when I hold her arms at her side to try to stop the hitting. We never spank her back and we are firm with her on timeouts but even that she will fight so hard whereas before she would go and sit down on timeout no issues. She is turning 3 in the summer. I’m at a loss as to why she is acting so out of the ordinary. I want to chalk it up to be developmentally normal but there are zero sweet moments with her now. Even when she sits with me she will look at me and clench her jaw and push her head really hard into me or only want her dad. I just want to cry cuz I feel guilty for feeling like I don’t like her at all. I’ll always love her but it’s like the sweet kind cuddly girl she was has been possessed by this feral mean abusive toddler. Please help me, am I alone in this? Are there any other moms going through this because for some reason when I talk about this with other moms they are all shocked that she knows to hit and thinking that we showed her the hitting. Why the hell would I expose her to hitting?! I only have one mom friend who said her child also hits and it was not like she was taught that, kids just do that right? I’m at a loss.

Feel like I hate my husband

Is this me and our relationship has gone south or is tgjs a common thing !
Honestly feel like I hate my husband , we never really argued and now I feel like we always do , I’m fed up of it & don’t want to feel like this any more 🙈

Anyone else’s baby always cry when held by a particular person?

Posting this because I’m wondering if it happens to anyone else, my 4 month old son always cries like he’s in pain when my Dad holds him!! I feel so bad for my Dad when it happens and it puts me in an awkward position because I wanna grab him back but don’t wanna make out like my Dad doesn’t know what he’s doing 🫣 To be fair baby boy has only met my Dad like 3-4 times (the first time was at about 2 months) so that’s probably something to do with it, and also my Dad and I aren’t very close so I think he picks up on my feelings around him. Still strange though as he’s such a content baby and is usually fine meeting and being held by new people!
