can my eating habits affect ariana?

[mom2ariana]

as some of you know ive had trouble eating and things like that...well ariana rarely sees me eating and mostly when i do eat she'll be asleep or playing with toys. i hardly ever eat in front of her. and lately she hasn't been eating much. she hasn't been acting hungry.
last night she only ate about 3 or 4 ounces before bed when she usually eats 7. and then she still slept 11 hours and woke up and it took her an hour to get hungry. and even then she wasn't that hungry but i fed her anyways. and she only ate a few spoonfuls before she got full.
whats the deal? i phoned her ped and im waiting for a call back; but can my eating habits truly affect her?

I have to agree with smjmekg on this.

did his appetite decrease?

cassandrajane: how old was she when she first started doing that?

[smjmekg]

Elijah didn't always get fussy, and didn't always have a fever either. There were a couple teeth I had NO clue he was getting until I noticed them in his mouth.

My sister noticed at  young age with my mum when she wouldnt eat... and she stopped eating, the Health visitor told my mum to start eating again and my sister would. And then she done the same when I stopped eating the first time!

cassandrajane: idk its been going on for awhile i dont really remember when it started..

clysta: well ive been in a funk because of these eating problems ive had. its made me depressed sometimes but i haven't necessarily been stressed.

smjmekg: i thought it could be teething too. but she hasn't been more fussy than normal. and she doesn't have a low grade fever or anything.

I personally don't think your eating habits will affect her while she's still so little. They do go through phases when they're more hungry and less hungry. Maybe she's in the beginning of getting teeth in.

I've been told babies can tell when something is wrong with us and that in turn can affect them. I'm not sure if actual eating habits would. Are you stressed out or anything? If so, she might be picking up on that and it could cause it.  Kylie has been able to tell when I'm stressed and upset and she'll cry and act funny until I'm better.

[Cassandrajane]

If they go on long enough... How long have you had your eating troubles?? because after a while she will notice you not eating and thinks its okay for her to be the same and be like my mum isnt eating why should I?

Cause it happened with my sister. she saw me not eating then decided she wasnt going to eat!
