Just make sure they don’t dehydrate. Lots of fluids. Try them with cold stuff like yoghurts and food that can be eaten cold. Extra milk too will stop them being overly hungry, they’ll eat when they want to…as long as they are drinking. (Obv if not eating anything or going on for really lengthy time then maybe need to try something else) Usually my little one will only go a day eating less, then eats more for a few days, then might be off his food a little again. In a wee pattern.

I’m not sure if you should be concerned I’ve been wondering the same though as my daughter has barely been eating these days either! She was only on one bottle in the morning but I’ve been giving her one before bed as well again the past few days to try fill her up x

My little boy is living off weetabix, fruit and yogurt pouches atm! I understand, I don’t really want to eat much either particularly hot food. He doesn’t eat sandwiches etc and usually his meals are hot meals.
I’m just giving him as many fruit/yoghurt pouches as he wants (he can help himself in the fridge and regularly brings one to me or dad when he fancies 😂) and making his weetabix a bit more milky. We did get him to eat beans on toast yesterday and he shared some garlic bread with us at tea time. I think the most important thing is that they keep hydrated (fruit will help with that too) x

Yep was just saying this to my mum yesterday! I’ve been giving my boy extra fruit pouches/yogurts just so he’s eating something. My mum said as long as he’s still having water and his milk he’ll be fine so that made me feel better

Thank you ladies! Hes not a massive fan of water so I have been adding a bit of juice to encourage intake and am back to breastfeeding on demand on my days off just to ensure he's taking an adequate amount of liquid and to help fill his tummy.. its so tricky isn't it! X
