@Kenzie thank you so much I didn’t even think about that
He could be teething. I switch back to purees and pedicure when my little one is teething. The squeeze packs of beef, turkey, chicken, and the fruit super mornings are a big lifesaver when she's not interested in her food. Also, the fruit cups... especially peaches she has never turned down.
@Teela thank you
That was supposed to say pediasure not pedicure lol
@Teela it’s OK I understood what you meant
My daughter is going through like a sitting down sleep regression. She won't eat if she's sitting in her high chair but she will eat a ton if she's running around playing while picking something off a plate, something to try I guess
Mine has been struggling with her top molars coming in and only wanting soft foods and milkies. I just offer snacks all day because she's not doing real meals right now either. I think it's pretty normal for a toddler.
Mine has been teething and going through picky stages and his pediatrician said if I can get him to eat anything, anything is better then nothing at all. Also make sure they are getting plenty of fluids. I can only get my son to eat chicken nuggets, fries, yogurt melts, pudding cups, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, chicken and rice , spaghetti, bananas, and cereal puffs. He will sometimes eat grits or oatmeal (with a little sugar added) I get the fruit ones like strawberries and cream etc.
Okay so my twins do this they love to throw their food especially my daughter. I realized when I would give him small portions she would start to eat. But if I filled her plate she would just start throwing it all over the place

What I did when my son did that was leave little snack bowls around with berries or animal crackers and he would snack while playing. Toddlers are great snackers!!
He may be going through a growth spurt! It’s usually one week of eating a bunch, then the next not eating much but sleeping a ton. Is he at least hydrated? If he’s drinking plenty of fluid and wetting his diaper I wouldn’t stress too much :)
