Hello Ladies,
Thank you so much for your comments.
We have been managing in the last few days, although every meal seems to be a challenge. I've noticed that my LO enjoys eating with her hands, and it's the spoon feeding that irritates her. Also, I've realized that she still has her appetite (most days), just not for purees and spoon fed foods (with an exception of yogurt).
One of the dilemmas right now is keeping her interested. When I give her some finger food, she starts of well and feeds herself for a few minutes, but then quickly gives up and starts to cry and throws the food off her tray. I really don't think she's taking in much, as I see how much food falls into her bib as she tries to eat. Lately I have been giving her yogurt at the end, and tricking her with some pureed food in-between so that I feel like she had a bit more food.
I have been taking my time with introducing “normal food” mostly because my LO has only two teeth and she has been rejecting the food when I tried it every once in a while. But, she has been eating small cut up foods for months now (i.e. cheese, bread, banana, rice crackers, noodles, etc. ).
I will have to check her weight and monitor it, as I haven’t weight her for about 3 weeks. This issue has been getting progressively worse in the last couple weeks.
Her mood has been varying in the last little while. She has started daycare last week, which has been going extremely well. She has been adjusting better than expected. She has been in great moods at home as well, but also going through random rough patches. She seems more extreme with expressing her frustration and being quite more aggression (i.e. throwing herself back). This is not normal for her, but it might be something she's starting to do. I am also suspecting that teething could be one of the reasons for her frequent moods fluctuations. Although, I am not seeing any other teething symptoms.
Kasia.
