Good morning ladies, Sorry this is long....
I have wrote on here before regarding a little one that I have who is not eating.
This child is will be 17 months on the 19th of this month.
I let mom know about 3 weeks ago that I was no longer giving child baby food from Jars and packets. That if mom says that child is eating with no help and concern at home then child should be able to do it here as well. It's been about 3 to 4 weeks and child is still not eating. Child will eat cheerios, cookies, slowly eat nutra-grain cereal bars. I left a note in child's log book letting dad know at pick up that they needed to bring in left over dinner and snacks for child for the week. Mom comes in this morning and asked about the eating. I tell mom that child is still not eating, and that for the next week or two that they need to bring in left over dinner or make something for child in morning along with snacks, to see if that will help child to eat. Moms like oh well child's eating lots at home, and that child does not like left overs at all child only likes fresh foods. She like how are you putting food out for child ( I tell her that I put it on her plate and even give child first bite, at which child shakes head and fusses ), and that she has spoken to her Dr. about it and the Dr.'s not worried. I said well for the next week or so we'll try this because child needs to be eating and child is not here. Mom did not look happy at all, and then say well there is these in her bag because child likes sucking on them, I reach into bag to get the packet and this is what mom put in for child ( PC Organics Biologique - Peach Maple Cobbler, PC Organics Biologique - Mango Apple Carrot Peach, Heinz - blueberry, Heinz - Mixed Fruit, Heinz - Bartlett Pears ).... So far this morning I put on child's tray for am snack - fresh blueberries, 3 slices of kiwi, hand full of multi-grain cheerio's child only ate cheerio's, played with rest.
I'm at my wits end on what to do or say to mom... I also told mom that I am concerned that child is not doing things that child should be at child's age, ( like raising arms to be picked up, fine motor grip, etc... moms like child is fine I not concerned and the Dr's not either Dr. says child is fine...
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!! any way possible (should I give child baby food instead of table foods? Do I fight and force child to eat the baby foods and listen to child scream and then get sick? Tell mom that I am not giving child baby food for if child is old enough and is doing it at home then child no longer needs that food?).
This is my other post below....
What age should you be concerned or stop helping a child eat.
I have a little one who is 16 months old on the 19th of this month. This child is still on jar baby food, I have tried adult table foods will not eat, unless I finger feed it. Mom say child eats lots of table foods at home but she feeds the child the first bite by finger then says child eats rest by self, says child will not eat the baby food for them anymore. I have tried to get child to hold spoon and child has no interest or fine motor grip for holding it (child does have some fine motor skills).
This is a list of foods mom says child eats
-Bologna
-Cheese
-Sandwiches cut in quarters
-Toast
-Pasta / Spaghetti
-Pork Chops ( shredded when cut)
-Chicken (shredded when cut)
-Roast beef (shredded when cut)
-Bananas (not cut, likes it whole but you need to hold it)
-French Fries
(Does not like ketchup or anything with ketchup taste)
We had roast, mash potato, corn, carrots today and child sat for 20 mins not eating even after I had gave first bit, I ended up feeding child jar food.
Should I just keep feeding child the jar food, and feed child by my hand? Should I say something to mom and then hear (oh child is fine I'm not concerned older child was the same) etc...
