not eating during the day

[Anonymous]

I am the mother of a 2.5 year old who pretty much starved through the first year and a half of her life. I resorted to sleep feeds during the day and the night. I would get her to sleep at the time to eat feed her just at the perfect moment and then wake her up so that I could get her to sleep for the next feeding. It was awful, and usually she would only take 1-2 ounces. My family life suffered greatly, everyone having to be quiet for every feeding. But it kept her hydrated and she is Ok now. Still doesn’t love to eat and has a really hard time sleeping. She is so used to being woken up. All that I can say is I never thought in a million years that I would ever feel normal again, and I do. It does pass and you have to do whatever it takes to get that baby fed. It is amazing what they can thrive on. Good luck

Thank You..

That really made me feel better. I have been stressing lately over Shanes pickyness and now his new refusal of bottles (and he never took to sippys). I am not sure if this is reflux related (he will eat junk and snacks ALL DAY, but not enough good fats and vitamins).

What do you mean by she doesnt sleep well?? I have issues with his sleep still.. small naps.. and he moves ALL night..

I hope it gets better for us too!

Thank you for your support!
