Just when I think we are doing so well she back slides. I was so happy when she broke 20lbs but now we have been stuck at that weight for over 2 months. I feel like she will never gain weight. It's so frustrating. As a Mother I feel like a failure when she won't eat! I keep telling myself that she'll eat when she's hungry but I've been waiting for that day to come for over a year now. I look at her and the logical side of my brain knows that she is not malnourished. She is active most of the day, minus nap time and is always up to something. It is so easy to say I'm not going to stress over her eating but it is easier said than done. Just this morning she had me reduced to tears because she didn't eat dinner last night (she did have a yogurt for an after dinner snack) and then I made her breakfast and all she ate was one breakfast sausage. I know she's hungry, you can't tell me she isn't! One sausage and a yogurt in 12 hours that's nothing. I guess I have to keep telling myself that she'll outgrow this and eventually she'll gain weight. I'm hoping it happens sooner rather than later. The one positive note is that her 12 month size pants are getting to short for her!
