My daughter just started not eating . Today she has refused to eat anything at all .
Im actually freaking out about it

[rabsaque]

Problem is simple kid don't want to eat cause they are not hungry, me growing up my dad cooked at 6 then at 12 then at 6 again being the youngest of 5 kids you knew you don't eat any of those times you were going to be hungry all day and it was no joke, then we ate anything our old man cook for us broccoli wathever, i did this with my son once when he was like 3, it broke my hearth, but this time his mom made soup he hates it so i took care of the situation after seeing her about to lose her marbles with the kid told him "ok you not hungry? go play" kid came at 4 saying he was hungry so i gave him his bowl of soup rigth back he said he didn't wanted it so i said again "well you not hungry you can go play" kid came at 11 like a wild animal he devoured that plate of soup like it was his beloved fried potatoes, i had to repeat this 2 or 3 times but he got the message, you eat what papa and mama provide this is a home not a restaurant.

My baby is 12 months and he loves to eat when it’s fed to him but he absolutely refuses and fusses when I get him to feed himself. It’s getting worse and worse. He would even throw his sippy cup if I get him to hold it while drinking. I’ve never had anyone around with the same problem. Please help me😭

[remember_To_be_kind]

My baby is almost 3 months and she's not eating as much and she has lost weight I can feel it. She is however always happy besides when she's hungry and she'll just eat less than 3 ounces I'm freaking out. Especially because she sleeps throughout the night and wakes at 4 and I'm thinking she must be starving but nope 😭

This sht actually happened to me when I was a kid and my parents tricked me to go to a hospital and they told me that the people in white jacket would play with me. The next thing I know they grab my hand and made a small cut on my palm of my hand. I felt no pain but the white water squirted out of my hand and I felt so good. Ever since then i started eating

[masterjay]

I used to be like this as a kid. I use to hate food. Im 32 now but when I was 5. I remember I just never use to feel hungry. I never knew what the feeling of hunger was like till when I was 9 then I developed a bad eating habit to at everything in the fridge. Funny how my parents started hating that I use to do that. Thing was grown ups in my family were forcing and even hitting me to eat. Around 8 n 9 they started making me smoothies, cakes and other yummy treats and then I loved it because it was super sweet and I learned how to make them myself then I was just making them all the time. That's where I developed a habit after I got hooked on a yummy taste. After that I couldn't stop eating and got fat at 10 till I was 12 then just always been chubby or skinny again because I always worked out but a eating disorder is not healthy. There must be a balance.
