Anyone know how to get their toddler to eat when they're ill? My little one is naturally skinny (being fussy with food probably doesn't help) so I feel he can't afford to lose much weight. We're on day 3 of eating next to nothing, hes been being sick and has a temperature, thankfully he is drinking. But really need to get food down him. Any tips?

So sorry to hear your little one is poorly. It’s horrid for them. Mine has just been through something similar and the doctor said don’t force it. As long as they are drinking, they will be ok. I kept a selection of snacks within easy reach (toast, crackers etc) and he picked at it when he fancied. It’s a worry but try not to let it get to you too much - mine isn’t usually that fussed about food either and he is eating like a trooper to make up for it now!
Hope he gets well soon
