I’m not suggesting force feeding but maybe put a bit of the food on your baby’s chin or lips so they have to lick it off - the taste might remind them they’re hungry. My baby has been exactly the same after a sickness bug. It’s like she forgot that she needs to eat and she’s hungry but it comes back once she tastes it.
Mine was the same - was sick then went off her food. We had to go back to mashed / pureed food spoonfed for a bit so she could re learn how to eat properly again. Try a variety of foods still, as mine went off the food that she had when she first got sick for even longer, even though they were the plain foods, as I guess they reminded her of being sick for a while, so you may find it's not necessarily their fave foods that are preferred now.
Mine was the same, too. He went back to his foods gradually, but I found offering him snacks first (e.g. bit of fruit, bread, yoghurt) - just small bits helped him get back to eating his food at main mealtimes. You got this 👍
@Megan I did try that but it always makes him so upset 😢 Even though he does look like he actually likes the taste 🙈
Thank you all so much 🙏🏻 Will try these tips!
Maybe teething?
