Is anyone else’s 16m old just a rubbish eater. She doesn’t have milk or anything during the day…but she just doesn’t eat loads. Will eat off my eldest plate etc but just chucks hers. We’ve tried all different ways of sitting etc!! X

Yep, always has been since we started weaning tbh. I can only count a couple of times where she’s properly eaten her food, not just picked at it or threw it  not sure what else to try

Ours had such a poor appetite and then we found out he had low iron. Started him on supplements for that and the change in his appetite has been amazing! Could be something to look into?

@Rebecca hi can I ask what type of iron supplements ? We’ve got her on a regular multivitamin at the moment

Yup she’s weighing about 9.4kg and isn’t eating much either. Honestly she never had an appetite to begin with and now she seems less keen on milk but solids as well as snacks

@Cotswoldmama of course, we’re using these ones, as advised by his consultant https://www.vitabiotics.com/products/wellbaby-multi-vitamin-drops?variant=29084129656901&network=google_x&placement=&keyword=&device=&campaignid=16257912670&adgroupid=&creativeid=&saf_src=google_x&saf_pt=&saf_kw=&saf_dv=&saf_cam=16257912670&saf_grp=&saf_ad=&account_id=6427961420&saf_acc=6427961420&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADqZT36MlmS_piekIVPeDtKozdeyK&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIlsi9zbruigMVFpJQBh1xFAe_EAQYAiABEgJ8DfD_BwE

Yeah, my little boy is a poor eater, if it’s snacks then he’d eat allll day! But meal times are a struggle, 2/3 bites and then he’s throwing it. Even if we let him pick off our plates at dinner time it’s still only a couple bites
