Hi all...
I've had a new 13 month old with me since August and she has settled a lot more than a few weeks ago and the mum is a lot less needy of my support with the transition as well... but..
This mindee rarely interacts with me or the other kids.. if I talk she never smiles.. she never seeks me... she is a fussy eater and doesn't eat anything unless its junky... she only sleeps in buggy or car and she rather eats, eats and regurgitates or chucks food all over the floor... she won't take any food from me at all so if she doesn't feed herself she doesn't eat. its a real mess at meal and snack time.
Has anyone any idea why this lil girl doesn't seem to want to bond at all.. could it be that's just how she is... its really difficult when you smile and speak in a friendly manner and always get a blank look back...
Is this all developmental or is it just because she has just spent every hour of the day with mum and its just gonna take time for her to get to know me?
really feel a little unsure sometimes :(
