Feel like a failing parent

My little boy is refusing meals and has for a while, rarely naps at home in his cot so results in driving him round but always naps beautifully in childcare and lastly will refuse to have his teeth brushed without being hysterical. I feel like I’m failing as a parent and cant even get the basics right ☹️

My boy is exactly the same for all of this! Hopefully they grow out of it soon 🥺 Only thing I find for the food that helps is just leave it sitting out a while, my boy will refuse to eat anything then an hour later eat it cold 🙈 eats fine for everyone else but for us it’s a challenge for every meal 🥺 xx

@Melissa completey the same for us. Eats 3 full meals at Childminders - wont even eat a scrap of toast at home 😭😭xxx

My little girl has never been the best eater. She was poorly a few weeks ago and still hasn’t fully recovered. Her meals consist of veggie puffs, sweet corn, grated cheese and maybe some fruit if I’m lucky. From 7 months onwards we’ve been co-sleeping. We haven’t even assembled the cot because we don’t think there is a point. Naps are also in my bed, with me by her side - she would contact nap if we let her. You are not alone, hang in there ❤️

Hopefully it gets easier soon! But you are definitely not alone! I’m constantly worrying about his teeth and his diet and now just dread bedtime because it take hours to get him to sleep 🥺
