Question

Why doesn't my baby have food given by other people?

Answer

Your baby is probably used to you doing the feeding and so could be wary of other people. If you'd like your partner, relatives or friends to help with feeding, start by sitting with them while you feed your baby, so your little one can get used to them being there.

 

Next, try letting your partner, relative or friend feed your little one, while you sit nearby to reassure them.

 

Hopefully this will help your baby get used to being fed by others.

 

Good luck and do let us know how you get on.
