Talk to Pediatrician on My 1 Year Old Doesn't Sleep Or Eat
Asking For Self, Female 29, riyadh
Salam, i am a fiest time mom. My baby is 1 year old but he doesn't like to eat anything. i have tried everything from purees to finger foods to everything. he doesn't drink milk as such, i am against screen time so i have to distract him through different objects for him to take his bottle. moreover he doesn't sleep properly. still wakes up 5 to 6 times throughout the night and cries. he is unable to self soothe and i don't want to try the "cry it out" method. i live alone so it gets very overstimulating and exhausting! PLEASE HELP ME raise my baby the right way as i am completely lost. i don't know what kinda doctor or therapist or counsellor should i go to who can guide me with the proper techniques to solve these issues out
make a routine, don't offer him.toys. us k samne rakhdain. day mein bhi takay wo dhonday khud activities. spoon feeding se wo aadi ho jaega.
don't worry.
as you said alone taking care of baby and 1st baby . is really difficult for new mothers.
ALLAH bless you since you are doing the greatest job ever in this world as mother 24/7. and give you ajr.
let me know wt and length of baby to see if any malnutrition.
nutrition history very important .
you mental health very important .
so multi factor issue. it needs consulting someone who is expert in peds. anyone.
if baby's overall health is fine then its just a mess and overthinking.
thanks you.
Kindly reduce his milk/ bottle intake. The number of feeds you will offer more he will want to intake less food. And that’s why he cries and wakes up at night time as his stomach is empty and he’s not well fed. No matter how much he cries just reduce his bottle number. Eventually he will start taking his food. And make him sit along with you on dinner table offer him food and plate. He will pick up the habbits as well.

i was a one meal per day person now i make sure i sit and eat 3 meals chahy thora e just so he can sit along and watch and eat. i offer him his own utensils and even let him practice his pincer grasp but of no use

Toddlers gradually adopt habbits. He’s transitioning into a new phase. Just try to make him sit calmly on the table withou any screen time. At first he’ll create fuss but gradually he will adopt it. It takes alot of patience and energy. You stay calm and try doing it for a week atleast. He will refuse intitally but then he will adopt. Good luck! :)

What's his weight and height?
What's his sleeping pattern in day time?
Any one food or shake or packaged food he eats in good portion by himself?

i haven't introduced sugar or salt to him yet! his only intake of sugar is in form of fruits if he eats any. so m not going to give him salty biscuits at all which has no nutritional value! ??

bhook.wajeh ho sakti hai. he needs 5 meals in a day. 3/4 to 1 cup serving size each time. Khanay k leay koshish karain, relax rehain. it must be over whelming. apna bhi khayal rakhain, baby catches emotions especially from their mothers.
