My 17 month old will not take food from mummy or daddy!!
Hi - I am in real turmoil, my little boy who is just turning 17 months will not take food from me or my husband. He has it in his head that only his Nanny feeds him. Ive tried everything. I think it comes from when I went back to work and he just started solids and she fed him all his meals. Now he sees her as his feeder and me and daddy as the nurturing / play roles.
I am no longer working and he refuses every meal - I can keep him sat in his high chair for maybe 5 minutes maximum and he will refuse to be spoon fed or even eat finger food without trying to climb out. I only spoon feed him some fruit puree or yoghurt or his weetabix as he is still learning the spoon as i am desperate to ensure he gets good nutritional food sometime in the day but its a huge battle of wills (mostly i end up in tears in the kitchen!) and he is upset then as he is hungry. I dread Fridays - i feel like all day we just try to feed him! Worst of all his nanny goes on leave for a month end of March so im trying my hardest to get him to feed with me, still no chance. (baby no.2 is due next week as well which inflates the problem as i wont have hours to try and try) We end up trying to chase him around the house getting food in his mouth which i know is not the right thing to do!
Has anyone else had this issue? Maybe you send your child to nursery or have a nanny and have the same issue ? How do you deal with it? Are there any feeding experts in Dubai?!
