Pregnancy Info HOME

I'm having the same problem. It's not that she isn't hungry it's just that she gets fussy every time my nipple goes anywhere near her. I just posted about it in the infant forum. I really don't have any idea what to do. It's frustrating :\

It's probably just a phase.. my daughter went through the SAME thing.. you should just put some food in front of him and see what he does. Sometimes it's as simple as him wanting to give it to himself :)

Ohhhh yeah good thinking Addy, my nephew went through that wanting-to-feed-himself stage. It was a hugeeeee mess haha. Ashley, does Dominik feed himself yet?

I hear this is very common at that age. I obviously have not seen it in my own daughter yet (she's a little sow in the making :) ) However I observed my sister's toddlers with this same behavior, and a friend's toddler. They are probably just to eager to explore to eat! As long as he seems healthy and active there is likely little cause for concern (I know, sooo easy for any mom to say). And of course try the advice of these other women, maybe he just wants to do it all by himself.

amanda - yes he feeds himself he gets right up in his chair, im juts finding he throws it at me :( or on the floor he doesnt seem to want it then he walks away and he's crying and i know its cuz he is hungry and i keep trying ugh... he has also started NOT sleeping he up at the crack of dawn wont take a nap and even though we are outside a good part of our day he wont go to bed last night he didnt go to bed until almost 1am.. and that was because i finally gave in and went to bed with him :S iunno what to do lol im lost

it is almost like he has colic---but i didnt think they could get that at 18 months ?????? lmao!

Um. My advice fuel tank is running low. I'll check back if I think of something *shrugs* lol
