a few things to try as my daughter wouldn’t eat properly until 2.5 eat with them/save food as them, sometimes they just don’t want to eat alone and most times they want what you have so if they see you eating it they’ll want it. another thing, my daughter (on her own, i didn’t do this to her) stopped eating meat not a thing not chicken nuggets or meatballs or turkey dinosaurs - anything (could be something to think about) hope this helps and that he starts eating for you <3

same* not save ^!

@Summer Rose i do usually try to eat as many meals as i can with her to encourage her but she just doesn’t want anything i feel so bad if she doesnt finish a meal off and i just end up giving her a yoghurt or fruit because something is better than nothing but cant help feeling guilty she isnt getting enough nutrients🥺 but thankyou so much for advice xx

honestly as long as she’s eating it, that’s all that matters. have you tried food pouches ? usually babies at that age shouldn’t eat them but if it’s the kind of texture she likes (like yogurts) it’s worth a try. maybe try and add her favourite foods to meals like chocolate chip pancakes and yogurts w some fruits for breakfast for example & even adding fruit to their dinner as it doesn’t have to look like a traditional dinner just as long as they eat! x

I’ve having this problem but with my 9 month old! - he literally won’t eat anything at all except sweet things I.e fruit and puddings etc - I’ve tried basically everything to get him to eat savoury things like lunch/ dinner time meals, vegetables even pouches etc but he will not have any of it He’s also gone off his milk aswell so I can’t even get full 7oz bottles down him no more like I use to! I wouldn’t mind if he was eating properly to replace the milk but he’s not 😫😫

@Summer Rose health visitor really put me down for having her on pouches😒 she said he would get used to that type of texture and won’t eat proper foods although i do give him a pasta or Mac and cheese pouch here and there honestly she was really degrading

@Cheryl ever since i weaned my little boy hes been really bad with food i used to leave the food on the tray for him to play around with and eventually one day he just picked it up and ate it but only a few bites its so exhausting trying to get them to eat I literally spend my whole day trying to get him to eat🥲 even if i give stuff he usually likes it just takes so long because he wont chew or swallow just keeps it in the side if gis cheek
