My baby had a few similar problems (also a Velcro baby) and wasn’t eating anything really. You have to give him way less milk or he just won’t be hungry enough to try new things. Start to trust him, babies do not starve themselves! We started with milky baby cereal and plain small pasta with olive oil / Parmesan and different fruit purees a bit warmed. I’ve been so overwhelmed too. It’s too hard if you don’t have a village. We were never meant to mother alone, you deserve some help. My baby is super active too and it’s so exhausting, she’s been like that from the start. She was walking since 9 months! What I’ve found to work is give yourself some kindness, you don’t have to respond to every single whine at night. Let them teach themselves some resilience. My baby is getting much more independent already. And don’t feel bad, I haven’t seen any babies of a year old confidently using a spoon themselves… we are still feeding every bite to my daughter. ❤️❤️
Also, when she wouldn’t stay in the high chair, I just put her on my lap and fed her from the table in front of me while watching tv. 🙏🏻
@Ruby Thank you for taking the time to reply, is very hard indeed, i have no one also to help and not sure how to do this right. I tried feeding him on my lap, he won’t stay , always on the move , i tried first food rather then milk and not always works and then screaming for milk..tried 1h after milk ..he is only tasting the food looks like.. and still in bed with us as he never been able to settle in cot..so many things that i don’t know how am i supposed to do..Thank you for the kind words 🌹🤍🙏
He’s also very very active boy, cannot stay in one place and i get so tired as he is climbing everywhere or running around the house, falling then screaming, then again, even at 10-12 months review, our HV called him a ‘handful’ as he was 10 months and walking around the room and climbing on their washing machine and tables ..while i was trying keep him still to answer her questions.
