My baby eats well at his grandmother's but won't eat for me at home. What's the difference, and what am I doing wrong?

Don't assume this has to do with something you're doing wrong—this is a very common behavior in babies. Grandmother's house means a different environment, a different face, and different energy. Babies often experience eating in a new setting and with a different caregiver as "a new game." Plus, mealtime refusal with mom can sometimes be a way of bonding, testing boundaries, or getting attention—"I connect with you differently." Don't take it personally. Something you can try at home: keep mealtimes more relaxed, without games or pressure. Think about whether you're as relaxed as grandmother is, or if you feel a bit worried during feeding. If it lasts longer than two weeks, your baby loses weight, or you see a drop in weight gain, check with your pediatrician.
