baby not eating
hi everyone!
my story is this: I have the impression that everytime I am obliged to be away from the house, my baby daughter loses her appetite.
I would have to start by saying, that in general, she seems to be enjoying the experience of breastfeeding and everything else simply doesn't feel as good to her. She is now 10 months old, and although I am now ready to stop breastfeeding, she on the other hand,is simply not willing to...cooperate!!
The first time I had to go back to work, she was 3 months old. I was away from home for about 5-6 hours everyday and during those hours, she would refuse not only formula milk but also my own milk which I had place into small bottles. Only when I came home, did she seem to get her appetite back.
When in month 6 and until now that she is in month 10, I was no longer working. I continue to breast feed and occasionally I would introduce her to other types of food. In general, she seems to like fruits, formula milk but she closes her mouth when I try to give her vegetables or meat.
My biggest concern is that now that I have gone back to work (it's been a week), she went back to her attitude of not eating. she accepts 2-3 spoons of fruit creme or yogurt and no more than 120ml of milk.
Does all this make any sense?
Is there anyone out there with similar problems?
I am desperated for some advice and encouragement.
Greetings to you all
