My baby has never liked solids. She goes to daycare 7am-4:15pm. She gets put in high chair for snacks and lunch time. The problem is that she clears everything off the tray onto the floor and throws sippy cup away. Then she cry and wants to get out of the chair. Daycare workers says she refuses to eat or drink anything the entire time at daycare. They also offer her sippy cup during playtime that she also refuses. I give her favourite food, breast milk and water. Tried juice and regular milk. Nothing works.
When I pick her up she breastfeeds. The rest of the day is spent with her eating while she is playing (because now she also refuses the high chair at home... I'm assuming it's related to daycare), breastfeeding and drinking water. At night she wakes up multiple times to breastfeed. She is healthy and her iron is good.
I'm freaking out. She has been in daycare for 4 weeks already. Still nothing. Teachers keep giving me the same report. I told them not to force her to eat. Just to offer and hopefully she will take something. I'm going crazy. How do I fix this situation?
At home she only eats spinach, cottage cheese, apple, banana but mostly dry stuff like puffs. She refuses everything else. Mixing food does not work. She knows how to drink from sippy cup. How do I deal with these food issues? What do I do with daycare? My entire day is spent in worry.
