Anxious about feeds, eating enough..

@CeeCee aww bless you I completely understand! I think with ‘mummy worry’ thrown in with anything too, it can be a lot to deal with 🥺 I know sometimes it’s not logical.. he is a big boy and we have days we eat a bit less and that’s normal!! He was very sick 3 times when he was poorly about a month ago and that triggered some stuff, so I’m extra anxious now 😖 Do you also struggle to let go of control with others feeding her/nursery..? This has taken some time and effort for me to accept he will eat & drink what he needs without me there x
Yes definitely! Its not as bad now she can drink water (although she is refusing at the min 😵💫) and eat solids, but when it was just milk I was so tense and wanted to do all the bottles myself as if someone else gave her a bottle and she didnt drink it I would feel so so stressed. Shes doing well with solids so that does take the pressure off and I know their milk needs to be dropping now but in the early days I was so worried.
Oh bless you! I find he can be so different too… obviously they’re developing their tastes and mine is certainly getting an attitude lol! Most of the time he gobbles it all up, so much he can be a little sicky where his tummy is full, bless him! It’s when he’s poorly and just doesn’t enjoy food but he still has milk 👌🏼 I’m the same… if he doesn’t finish a bottle with someone else I’m like “why?!” and feel stressed 😣 but it’s getting better! He actually eats very well at nursery inc more snacks. I wander if this will get easier as they get bigger… or I’ll always worry 🥺
Yes 100%! I constantly worry especially as she was only a ring 5lb when born. For the first 4 months of her life I had my HV over weighing her every week but luckily she has stuck to the 2nd percentile like glue so she’s perfectly healthy. Weaning has been even worse for my anxiety tbh mainly due to the fact I’m worried she’s not getting enough nutrients as she’s not a massive eater!
@Courtney aww bless you! I can imagine how hard that was.. my boy was weighed an extra week then again 2 weeks later as he didn’t get back to birth weight as quickly, and that was enough! I was constantly worrying about him getting enough milk.. and he’s a big boy!! He enjoys his food, but when he’s poorly he goes off it and it’s so unlike him 😔 sent him to nursery today but might have to pick him up and I overthink how he’s doing 🥺 partly normal for us mummys but also something I’m working on 👊🏼 x
Yes Ive always been so worried about this, ever since she was born as she was a big baby so they expected her to be a big greedy baby but she wasnt, always took ‘less than expected’ according to the guidelines so its always worried me even though shes now stuck to her centile line from 1 to almost 11 months! It just triggers me so much when she is off food or milk due to teething or illness!
