My 2.5 year old is refusing to eat ever since his little sister care in the picture.
It takes him forever to eat and it frustrates me that I have to take him away from the table or I have to leave the table in order for him to eat. He wants me to feed him and I’m not doing it. I know he’s jealous of her.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Hey, I think I would feed him sometimes but not all the time and encourage him to be independent. You don’t have to feed him until he’s finish but just a little.He doesn’t understand that his younger sibling is incapable of feeding self. He just sees that you aren’t feeding him but feeding his sibling. I don’t think it’s wise to totally disregard how he may be feeling.
Or you could ask him what he would like to watch or if he would like to help you get a diaper or a outfit for his sister. Just so he feels he’s a part of helping you and still gets time with you too.
Have you tried to do one on one with him? Like maybe put her down for a nap. And just spend sometime with him. My little girl gets jealous when my 9 month old niece comes around. I usually have my niece on my lap. And my little girl will sit in front of me and loves when I have her interacting with playtime with my niece and I.
Make your own breakfast!
At what age do you think a child should be making their own breakfast? I have a 10 year old and I think he is perfectly capable of making himself breakfast. It doesn't take rocket science to put some waffles into the toaster, or microwave some pancakes. My husband insists that he needs to have breakfast made for him because if we left it up to him he wouldn't eat enough and it would take him forever.
I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
I need help!!! Something is wrong with my dog and I have no money or job to take him to the vet. I think hes dying idk
I have a question! I can not for the life of me get my 18 month old to eat at the kitchen table...he will fight me till he is blue in the face but he is hungry so I let him sit in his chair to eat because I can’t just let him starve! Anyone go through this with their toddlers? Any tips?
@withlovedkj, I do feed him at times but he is 2.5 years old and he eats on his own very well. I do not totally disregard my son or ever.
