Hi, I’ve been so emotional my baby had a Nicu appointment yesterday, no mom wants to hear bad news. I was so excited and pumped that my baby is finally doing all the milestones, but the nicu ppl told me otherwise that is scored very low from last time he was there. I felt like I fail as mother 😭. Me in my eyes he is getting there slowly but he is! He is walking and playing doing everything a kid can do! And for them to tell me that it’s like a slap in the face 😭. And right I am struggling for him to eat he eats so little through out the day. The doctor tells me he’s brain isn’t growing lack of food I am like wahhhh I was so heart broken yesterday. I am so sorry but I just needed to vent 😭💔

I so feel you, mama! I feel like all the stress over my daughter’s weight gain and feeding robbed me of the joy of motherhood for my daughter’s first year.
@Ash thank you for your sweet words I am going to try this but he isn’t like a Snacker so this is why I have trouble with him 😩
@Carley omg yesss for the past day I’ve been crying. 😭 feel hopeless 😔 I just wish he would eat gain weight but it’s so hard
If the baby is over 1 U can try pediasure or Smoothies .
@Sheneil he does drink that
@Vanessa mine wasn’t either until we went to her cousins house and she saw them doing it

Let me start by saying you are not failing as a mom. Sometimes we just have to get creative.I am assuming that you are talking about your baby that’s over a year old. If so maybe try leaving snacks at his level out. For my daughter, I sit her in her chair for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but during the day I put out snacks that she can graze. There are days she eats meals and now snacks and days that she just grazes and doesn’t really eat a meals . Either way I know she has had a good amount of food for the day. I started doing this because I felt like she wasn’t eating enough. Hope this helps
