Weird eating habits?
« on: February 27, 2009, 14:19:37 pm »
My 3 month old DD has taken up some strange eating behaviors lately. She seems to have the most issues with her feed before bedtime. If we have company over around that time and someone else tries to feed her, she wants nothing of it. If someone starts to feed her and then switches to someone else after her first burp (even her dad and I), she isn't having it. Sometimes, she won't even stand to be fed anywhere else but her nursery or a quiet room.
Do you think it is overstimulation? Fear of strangers? She just started daycare a couple of weeks ago so it is almost as if she wants to be close to me at the end of the day. It is hard to explain this behavior in a 3 month old, though.
She is a textbook/touchy baby. When it comes to her feeds, sometimes she wants everything "just right".

Awwwwww! :)

No real advice, just hugs.  At about the same age DS got much more alert to what else was going on while he was eating (and what he might be missing, lol) so he was very easily distracted.  Maybe??   Or maybe just wanting some uniterrupted mummy time!

Hello and welcome to the BW website.

It is not uncommon for a lo to like routine.  So if your lo is used to you feeding her at a specific time then she is just wanting what she is used to.

My DS was exactly the same, he refused to take a bottle from DH if I was around.  If I was not there then he would take it otherwise he knew he would be hungry.

The same went for bedtime.  I had to do bedtime, DS would not go to sleep for DH ::)

I think they just get set in their ways.

They do get set in their ways! Spencer wouldn't take a bottle from DH unless I wasn't  in the house...she likes to be fed on the couch, in front of the TV, in my arms and nowhere else...she once had a meltdown b/c DH tried to finish her feed in the kitchen! It is getting better now though, she still prefers me, but can hold her own sippy cup and is slightly more flexible in that she will have her cup in her sister's room during story time now! (oh, and she's a touchy/spirited girl too)
