Hi Umemboshi,

I am sure that babies are more aware of what is going on than we care to acept.

Some time after i was born my real father who was Canadian came back from fighting the war in Italy. He only spent a short time with us as he was bieng sent back to Canada by the canadian army.

I stopped eating a lot of foods that I had been eating before which worried my mother and family. No one has ever been able to explain why and I dont have a clue or even remember what happened. All I can think is I must have been aware of him going back just like your little one seems to be aware her dad is missing from her life.

Thanks for sharing and hope she starts eating normally again soon. Sending best wishes and kind thoug.hts, Brian

I am so sorry for your loss! I can't imagine how difficult it must be for you looking after a baby as well as mourning the loss of your husband. I don't have any children myself but can imagine she was used to seeing a male face.

Do you have a friends who can help support you?
