My son will be 1 on Sunday, so yesterday I stopped his formula. He has been refusing cows milk, and I have tried warming it and mixing formula with it. He also will not drink anything but water out of a sippy. He also dislikes anything except meat. He loves hotdogs and sausage, but I know that is not good nor good enough. He loves oatmeal when I’m eating it, but when I’m feeding him, it’s a no-go. Thankfully, he sometimes is ok with the baby food in jars (fruits and veggies) but I feel like he is not getting enough.

I’m having flash backs from when he was born and I felt like I wasn’t producing enough milk and had a terrible bout of postpartum depression. He is fussy and constipated and clingy and I feel like I am FAILING. I do not want to fall back into depression as I have been doing well, but it was so easy to feed bottles and now I feel like this challenge is too great for me.

Can some other moms maybe tell me their feeding schedule and words of encouragement that it gets better? I do not want to fail my baby.
