i adore my son, love him like crazy but sometimes it get's all onto my nerves ..
during the day, it's a war to get him food, any kind of food down his tummy....we try all different methods playing / singing / trying different times / keeping him more hungry / different places but nothing works
and milk - he only wants breast milk ...maybe one time during the day he will take formula...about 4 oz...but's that's about it !!
oh yes ! he eats wires, books, paper, toys - anything non edible very very fast and all the time !
i am a working mum...from home though...i get super tired trying to coax him to eat / drink for hours ! ....plus i wake up 4 times atleast in night to feed him...( which happens on those days when he has not had enough food - which means almost every night)..i have a helper, but she gives up pretty soon - saying " he is not hungry !! " ...
i also know this is a phase....and will pass but just thot write it down as i am crying now !!
