18 months toddler refuse to eat

My 18 month old refuse to eat recently. Don’t know why. He is learning how to self feed with spoon but he just eat plain white rice. Fish and others he simply reject. Even if we manage to put into his mouth, he will spit it out. Anyone experienced this before and how to help baby get interested in food again? He also does not like to eat fruits and drink water. Recently he is having constipation. Not that we are not giving him anything to eat or drink but he simply refused. Now still having constipation. 😞

Thanks for the advice. We were quite lost and felt bad that we do not know what he want to eat. We will try your suggestions and see whether it works.

5 month old baby drinking lesser and lesser milk

Hi mummies, My baby is coming to 6 months old. Only started to introduce him brown rice cereal yesterday. However, I noticed his milk intake is getting lesser and lesser. Today he is drinking less than 100 ml per feed every 3 hours. Very worried that he is not going to drink enough milk. Is it because he is teething (though no teeth yet) or coz he was introduced to solid?

Sleeping issue with my 5 month old LO

Hi mummies, Need some advice here. My little one is going to be 5 months old soon and I wanted to start sleep training for him. Wanted to use Ferber method but I am met with some challenges which I am not sure if most babies are like that or just my LO only. 1. He just learnt to roll over. So whenever we put him down to pat him to sleep, he will roll over. If we stop him from doing it, he will cry out really loud and insists on turning over. Hence step 1 of sleep training failed. Does anyone’s baby like to roll over as long as put onto bed? 2. When baby finally able to fall asleep, we thought it’s ok already and walked out of the room. But minutes later, he will scream and yell on top of his voice suddenly. Ferber’s method said wait before going in to pat him. The problem here is, he is screaming and if wait too long, he will cry until cough and till voice hoarse. No use patting him coz he won’t calm down. We need to pick him up. Though picking him up and rocking him and using soft soothing voice reassuring him, he still scream and cry ?. I do not know why he will scream and yell suddenly even though he is tired and wanting to sleep. Does anyone’s baby having the same problem? How do u calm baby down? Thanks in advance. Need some help to make sure I am sane.

I am in the exact same situation as you right now! how did you resolve it in the end? hope your son is doing well at 1 yr old!

Normal for 3 month baby to have only 5 feeds per day?

Hi mummies, My boy is 3 month old. He has been sleeping through the night roughly from 9pm to 6am, sometimes 7am plus. At least 6-8 hours. With that, his feed become lesser. About 5-6 feeds per day. Usually he will be drinking milk 3 hourly with each feed around 140 ml - 150 ml (water + formula). Is this normal? I am worried that he is not drinking enough milk since he is a growing boy. Can mummies give me advice what should I do?

how I wish my 3mth plus slp through the night too. 😂

Self soothe training to sleep

Hi mummies, does your baby need to be carried to sleep? When do u start to train your baby to self soothe to sleep? What method did u use and how long it takes for u to be successful?

Super Mum

Baby’s not carried, just placed in bed. Started teaching self soothing at 2-3 months, by waiting a couple of minutes when baby called before picking her up. Also pat baby to sleep from 2 months-4.5 months old, so we didn’t carry her to sleep. Started cry it out method at 4.5 months, because previous methods, and other no tears methods didn’t work. Baby’s now 5.5 months old. Success rate is 100%, duration of whining or crying is variable, but when we time it well (awake interval and also looking at sleepy cues), there’s sometimes no crying at all, or whining/crying <10 minutes. She still struggles with day to night transition so she cries longer when putting her down for the first time at about 7pm. Other than that, it’s pretty fast during the day or in the middle of the night. No pacifiers or other tangible sleep aids at present, but we use white noise.

Watery poop for 3 month old baby

Hi mummies, Recently my son passed watery poop 3-4 times a day. Sometimes not a lot. Sometimes slightly more (see picture). I am currently giving him NAN HA as well as my pumped breast milk. FM intake is usually a lot more than BM in a day (Low supply). Is this considered diarrhoea?
