Well, I just found a childhood friend became a mother, her daughter was 17 months, she is breastfed but does almost nothing to eat … For example, she eats 1 to 2 teaspoons of mashed pot-meat (so even in 3 meals she did not finish) if she agrees! It is 6.6 kilograms for 72 or 73 cm. It is very cute, with big wide eyes, she can not walk, but not particularly dynamic and very little chatter. I have children fairly thin especially my daughter was in its infancy, but not at this point. A baby may be anorexic, as her mother? Have you ever had or known to children if small body size? At what age do they catch up growth "normal" and how the incentive to eat? (His family will keep visiting us 10 days) I tried to involve them in the kitchen, playing with food, eating with my children, prepare recipes "colorful" and fun age-appropriate, but nothing walking … Each time, the meal begins with a. Each time, the meal begins unecrise yells to the head, then she calms down and scratching the plates and throw food on the floor and then make a pyramid! According to her parents, she does the same thing home. The atmosphere of the meal becomes difficult … Have you any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I hope this girl is followed by a pediatrician because … 7kg and 70cm in 17mois … is not normal, eg my son almost 8mois is 8kg and 70cm … and he was born premature to 35sa 1kg8 and 44cm at birth .. so it was not a juggernaut when it came to the world …. If the mother is anorexic and she is breastfeeding, I strongly doubt that her milk is very nourishing for the small … and if the mother has a problem with the food, the little one can feel it too …. as I l 'I said at the beginning … I hope it is followed by a pediatrician and mother … should see a shrink … but c'es always difficult to tell someone … only the person can make the process itself .. but she must be aware that this is for their benefit and that of her daughter …

Hello, It is sad your story! the mother is anorexic, has a problem with food, and suddenly has trouble feeding his little girl, not quite thick! this little bad start in life in my opinion …… When I think my daughters (one to 19 months) are so greedy! eat anything with real pleasure, I think we will shake and seek advice from a pediatrician or a nutritionist but this is not because the mother is sick he should share this with a child so small. …… a baby yet !!!!! As for you, honestly, I do not know, little will be blocked anyway. Try chocolate, kids love it normally tries to make fun (as you say), eg by making a hole in the puree to put a touch of sauce ….. but it will not be easy for you, I confess …. Good luck.

not ideas … there is pathological, non? at first glance I would say a growing problem! 6.6 kilograms it seems ridiculous … I've put a star because I sympathize! Suggestion: make the menu with his parents? After all if head, it should suffice to 17 months. Try also not to offer him attitude to see how she reacts, if she claims! Good luck …

Hmmm, not that easy. I know one who is anorexic and has breastfed. The kid has at least 2 years to make his night as he was hungry at night. And then, not very big, the little! The grandmother was ill at heart … You've tried the game? By "the dinette, with your children. And then offer him some things she likes best. Cereals, perhaps, to give him something to eat. Or purees, soups. The hard part: get to love food to the girl, before the mother resumes no taste I pity the mother and the little … Good luck to you too for the meal may indeed be … complicated. Sorry I can not help you better. But I put a star where the copinautes have better ideas

I think it's a good idea to involve them in the kitchen. May be that this time it was not his way but I persevere. If you occasionally to keep this small enough surely often made to be with your children will awaken and emulate their actions and will stand a little of his mother. But as said earlier the child will be completely full and "cured" if it is the mother. Unconsciously she convey his phobias of his daughter.

but here do not worried parents at 17 months the child does not know how to walk, eat nothing! it's selfishness or indifference …. should it be seen by a pediatrician that child, because she must have sacred deficiencies. In any case you do your maximum, it is a good idea to play in the kitchen, but I suppose it should not be funny every day and at the same time is difficult to open his mouth to give advice. Good luck

Unfortunately I do not think that 2 weeks at your level you can do anything … There is real work to be done by professionals, nutritionists, pedo-psychiatrist, for that little can eat normally and has come to have a normal relationship with food. Her mother does not care about the state of his daughter ? The doctors did not we already alerted? Because there is serious I think. Not only has she a real growth retardation but apparently she has a psycho-motor retardation and undernourishment in early childhood can have irreversible consequences on brain development in particular. It really should educate parents about this. Pending I hope that seeing your children this young girl will want to do the same … I doubt it. His mother is his reference.

I think a consultation with a doctor is needed because there is too little and too thin.

Uh! it's more worrisome still! My daughter at 17 months, was 84 cm for 10 pounds! And already my pediatrician thought her a little low in the curve of weight! Today, it has been 2 years and 89 cm for 12 pounds .. I really hope that this small has been crowned! A baby can not be itself if little anorexic, but he observes the behavior of many adults. Her mother is a landmark, and if his mother has a problem with food, well it is a bad mark for his daughter, and that the latter put me in danger! If she does not eat enough, and well baby is not everything it needs in the milk of his mother, over 17 months, we must diversify the food so there is no deficiency . Only milk is sufficient in itself for a baby until its 1 year. At 17 months, he needs other things in supplements with milk. What does that little progress has not surprising given the low weight, it lacks the force necessary to achieve even 17 months and is still very late when most. What does that little progress has not surprising given the low weight, it lacks the force necessary to achieve even 17 months and is still very late when the children walk plupartdes already since 6 / 7 months at that age. Alas, I fear that all your good intentions are not used much because the eyes of the mother on food should be experienced as oppressive for the small and therefore it created a blockage. Should the mother gets treatment before they can "cure" her daughter. The discharge must also be analyzed as a relationship problem also between mother and daughter … I think the only solution, pass through the mother first. In addition to anorexia, it happened a few things difficult at the time of the birth of the chip to its mother, or even at the time of conception, pregnancy? As you say, involve them in preparing kitchen can be fun, fun, but I am afraid that this little girl who refuses to eat already, can not associate food with pleasure as her mother has not learned. It was his mom to do, unfortunately I think you you'll toutse powerless despite your good wishes!'s Nice of you that you. It was his mom to do, unfortunately I think you you'll toutse powerless despite your good wishes!'s Nice of you that tuessayes anyway, for this little girl. To better help you there, what would be most beneficial at first, is that parents are not there for the moments of the meal …. but hey it's also complicated because they are your guests! But it is true that a child eats more often and with less difficulty, when his parents are not there because there is not at this moment, an emotional involvement "Bon courage; 0) @ DDITION: I do not overdo it because you have nothing to do but it is not far from the "abuse" child because for me it is still well to the life of a child at play …

Question: It is all the time with his parents? It does not go to daycare or nursery or with the nanny? In a place where there would be fewer issues around food? Mine was 11 months, and also refuses to almost any solid food (except for bread and crackers), but he weighs 10kg to 74 cm. When we see Hop like a rabbit and when you see his fat cheeks, we see that it does not lack anything. In contrast, only 7 kg in 17 months, I am surprised that no one further monitoring of pediatrician or PMI, it closely resembles the negligence to me … 2 weeks, I'm not sure you can do anything, except let fiddle about food (she could at less to taste) and ensure that meals are moments of relaxation with the family, with lots of different foods to taste. Maybe this could help to unlock. They are surrounded by parents daily ?
