@Alice Hi Alice, thanks for your comment. When my daughter was six months old, I started introducing solid foods into her diet, but soon after, I contracted pneumonia, requiring hospitalization. My in-laws came to support us during this challenging time but ultimately did not provide the necessary assistance. Specifically, my mother-in-law chose to feed my daughter formula milk exclusively. Due to my compromised health, my daughter developed an enduring preference for formula over solid foods. I am worried about the potential consequences of this dietary preference and wish I could alter the past. 😔
I would talk to your pediatrician about it and see if they think it's worth seeing a feeding specialist
Sweta, I’m sorry to hear that happened. That’s hard. 😞 Would your daughter drink a smoothie or a puréed soup? If she prefers liquids to solids, maybe you can get some nutrients into her that way. I wish you and your daughter the best. ❤️
@Sweta I’m so sorry this happened to you and I agree with the other comments to either try and blend foods into smoothies or definitely see a professional.
@Emily I tried everything but she refused 😭
@Alice I have an appointment with her pediatrician on Monday. But I don’t think she will give me good advice or help me. Bcoz every time when I ask her about this matter she always says that she will eat ☹️
@Leah is there any feeding specialist? I didn’t know about it
@Sweta yes! This is definitely something that you can get professional help with. It's tough but you don't have to go it alone!
@Leah thank you so much for your help 😊🤗
I still breastfeed my 20mo and there’s days where he doesn’t want to eat much and rather nurses. Could be teething pain or something else. This is what I’ve read a while ago that I go by: it’s your responsibility to provide food but it’s their responsibility to eat it. Toddlers have so many more exciting things to do than eat. Unless you’re concerned about rapid weigh loss, I wouldn’t worry too much. Keep serving her meals and let her do the rest.
