I’m transiting a new baby 16 months old and she cries every time I put her in her highchair. She won’t leave my side so I put her in her highchair while I’m prepping meals and I give her toys but she screams like crazy.

I can’t leave her by my side as she tries to play with the stove? I don’t understand why parents these days don’t enforce the kitchen as a no fly zone. A 17 month old should know the stove is off limits L

She screams at nap time and won’t sleep she only has slept twice and I’m sure its from pure exhaustion. Oh and she refuses to eat in her highchair. She will ask for food to walk around with and I just hate this as its messy and the other kids try and take it.

Her Mom mentioned that she went to another interview after me and she was applauded that they served pasta two times a week for a meal. She liked my meal plans; I serve pasta as a side never a meal. I can’t get her daughter to eat anything and today I fed her chicken and pasta and now I know why. She eats pasta like it’s chocolate. LOL

So my thought is she doesn’t want me to serve it due to the fact that it’s all she will eat. This way there are dinner options. Am I overeating or not?

Ladies the screaming and crying is really killing me. I have told her to please stop crying as she knows she’s ok and she looks at me and stops crying & is if fine. But will start back up when I turn my head.

Ideas? She has been here 3 weeks and this week is week 4, she is only part time and I know it takes longer I just don’t know if I have anymore energy left myself!

HELP!
