What do you do if your baby won't eat?

My dear daughter (DD) has not been a big fan of eating since she was born. It's always been a struggle. We are always tip toeing around on eggshells trying not to draw any attention to ourselves when she eats and praying that she doesn't stop eating... because once she stops she will not start again even if she is still hungry. The rare occasions she takes a bottle and drinks the whole thing without stopping, are blessings from heaven. I worry constantly that she is not getting enough nutrition.

Welcome!

Welcome! I’ll make this short. I’m a new Mom, but everyone seems to know that by just looking at me.

You will know the best thing to do for your kid because no one knows your kid better then you. Whether it’s breast or bottle; sleep training or rocking your kid to bed every night like I do. Trust yourself and trust that your kid will show you what is going to work for them. I’d love to offer tips and things that I have found worked for me on here for you other new Mom’s! I just want to share my experience and hopefully it can help in some way.
