Oh man, I’m sorry to hear that the situation has worsened somewhat. I remember you used to get about four hours of sleep ;(
Why does it take so long for your daughter to finish her meal? Maybe you could share more details and we can chip in with suggestions for you to try. I think nothing can be worse than the status quo
Thanks. Honestly we have no idea why. She just doesn’t seem to like any solid foods very much. She is well past when she should have stopped nursing but just won’t give it up. We’ve talked to doctors, pediatricians, GI specialists, counselors, and therapists and no one has been able to help. At every checkup the doctors are concerned about her weight and want to run her through more tests that will turn up no results.
At this point I think she I just insanely stubborn. Between her stubbornness with eating and my son interrupting all the time with demands meals just take that long.

This sounds so tough. I’m so sorry. What worked on the rare occasions in which she ate something?

Thanks, it really is quite draining. Right now the foods that seem to work best are: Mac and cheese, butter, chicken nuggets, and smoothies. Though it still really depends on timing and her mood.
The really frustrating thing is that she eats like a bottomless pit for her grandparents. So really I think she is just incredibly stubborn with us.
Also with my son’s autism he usually requires a special meal other than what we are eating as well. Therapy is working with him on this though.
