Oh goodness, I'm so sorry to hear that your son is having a rough time with your return to work. Have you spoken to his doctor about his weight loss? He may have some ideas of how to help. Have you tried using different kinds of bottles or sippy cups? Sometimes kids are very picky about that. What about solids other than cereals? Maybe trying some fruits or veggies if your pediatrician has given you the go ahead. Please keep us posted, I hope you can find a way soon how to get him back to eating!

Hi and I am so sorry you and your son are having this problem. Weight can be such a tricky issue. I agree with Stacy, I would consult with his doctor, they have lots of tips for this sort of issue. Maybe you can try fruits/veg since he is 7 months or sippy cups. Some kids do not like bottles at all. Also sometimes our anxiety transfers to them so when you feed him (and I am terrible at this) try to stay calm and happy. I know when I get anxious,my daughter gets anxious too and then no eating/drop-off/ family event etc went well that way.
I hope you find a solution soon to your issue.

Hi and welcome to share!
Define a lot of weight?
My only suggestion, contact your pediatrition asap!
I agree with Ellen on the anxiety transfer. It happens at my house. Keep calm, stay monotone, and show the same emotion through out your whole feeding experience.
Love and Light,
Liz

Hi. I am so sorry your son is having such a difficult time with your return to work. I agree with everyone else, talk to your pediatrician about the weight loss. Also, my son wouldn't take a bottle unless it was the exact correct temperature. Good luck!
