Plate vs. Ate: Feeling so defeated
I know that food before one is just for fun, but I think the social media of it all is getting to me. It is so disheartening seeing babies her age eating full plates of food.
My daughter was a great eater when we started solids at 6 months, but after a month of coughing and 3 new teeth (one currently erupting, and I’m sure there’s a fourth not far behind it), she just isn’t super interested anymore. She just turned 8 months old a week ago, and it’s been a struggle. Barely even wants bottles right now. She just finished a round of steroids and antibiotics for croup and her eating has gotten a little better, but she just seems like she’d rather be doing anything else.
