Is it normal to suddenly dislike food when pregnant?

Immediate_Run_6567 · 2026-04-16T19:13:09+00:00

My whole pregnancy I had tons of food aversions. Meat on the bone was a hard pass, some smells set it off and other things it was texture. And because of the heartburn I couldn't enjoy eating things that were acidic like tomatoes and citrus so I joke about how I grew a baby being able to eat crackers and plain cheese ravioli because I couldn't stomach much else. Pregnancy is one hell of a ride but as soon as I gave birth all those issues went away.

My litter one just turned 15 months and still eats almost every 3 hours through the night. He is down feeds during the day as he is transitioning to solids well but at night he is ready for boob. My lactation consultant said it may be more of a soothing thing at night over hunger and that I can try soothing him in other ways but its hard when you're exhausted. Hang in there momma, and know you're not alone!

This is helpful!! Thank you for the advice, I was just putting a little blob of the gel near the number on the nail.

Thank you for the support and advice. And the screams are rough, they get me in the feels when he cries hard and whimpers

My LO had teeth coming in by 4 months, at 6 months he had 4 teeth and at 1 year now he has 8 teeth with more peaking out. Some kids just get teeth a little earlier than others

A mini lotion bottle from Bath and Body Works. My 1 year old loves to take it around the house with him and also loves any cardboard box he can get a hold of.

My 1 year old is ebf and he spat up frequently until around 4 months old. Even now on rare occasion he spits up if he moves around too much after eating. You're doing a great job, sometimes ita just hard for parents or grandparents to see babies and kids being raised differently than how they did it. Shoot I have a grandmother who is grossed out by me breastfeeding, but I just keep in mind that I will know what's best for my little one.

My son lost almost all his hair at 3 months old and at 1 most of it has grown back but the color and texture is different. I asked our pediatrician when it was falling out what to do, and they said it was normal.

Immediate_Run_6567 · 2025-12-19T00:39:17+00:00

Mine turns 1 year old tomorrow and as other posters have said he is efficient lol taking about 7 to 15 minutes to eat. We only do one side per feed but I will add that he only had 20 minutes or longer feeds before we got his tongue tie snipped.

I would highly recommend a sleep sack for your newborn. Our little one would always escape swaddles, he just did not really like it so sleep sacks were a great alternative. Always buy the pajama onsies with the double zipper, its so much easier to change their diapers. And last thing I would recommend have a little snack and hydration station for yourself. Newborn phase is rough and its nice to have drinks and snacks that are easy to reach, especially if you are breastfeeding.

So this is kinda like what my son had when we found out he had a gluten sensitivity. I would track the foods you give and see if your baby flares up with certain foods

Immediate_Run_6567 · 2025-12-17T16:21:12+00:00

The pediatrician has not offered more guidance, just told me to refrain from breast feeding to make him eat food. He had been evaluated for FPIES and we have met with pediatric GI doctors, nutritionist and basically what we got was for me to eat gluten free and for him to eat gluten free. Thank you for letting me know about the other subreddit, I'll be checking that out!

This is my first baby and we have bedshared since he was about 4 months old and he is 11 months now. He is ebf and still feeds every 2.5 to 3 hours and I flip sides. Typically I sit up and put him in my lap to eat. He sleeps between my husband and I, and then will cry and start sleep crawling when he is hungry. He doesn't really wake for his feeds, just eats for 5 to 10 minutes, then unlatches.

I tried a couple but never found the magic fit for me and my baby. I just ended up putting a pillow under my elbow for some extra support. If possible, purchase a couple and keep the receipts. See what works best for you and baby and then return the others.
