Toddler not eating

Babies loose there appetite a lot whether it’s sickness or teething it bound to happen. What I do with my toddler when he won’t eat I’d offer loads of yogurt pouches as he tends to eat them when he’s refusing to eat and add a rusk into his bedtime bottle. It just gives me peace of mind that he’s getting at least a little something xxx

As long as she’s drinking it’s not a massive worry at that age xxx

It's completely normal for them to lose their appetite, when they are unwell. Our little man hasn't been himself for over 3 weeks and, some days, he's barely eaten anything.

We've just tried offering him all different types of food, all different textures, and then ultimately given him what he wants and tried to find things that are similar.

As with Rachel's little one, the yoghurt pouches went down well. Peas also tended to be eaten, as well as over-cooked carrot batons. Potato waffles were a hit, too. Porridge and Weetabix - he'd have a bit of - so we offered him those at breakfast, along with a banana (because he's a huge fan!).

I usually cook everything from scratch but, when he's ill, we'd rather he eat something than nothing, so we just went through everything in the cupboards, fridge, freezer. Some of the 6m+ pouches worked - we let him eat them straight from the pouch.

Some days were more successful than others.

Ultimately, don't sweat it. The main thing is that your little one drinks water and you keep getting wet nappies.

My little one was refusing food over the weekend, she’d had a cold got about a week but took her to the doctors on Monday and turns out it’s tonsillitis. May be worth getting her checked x
