Hardly eating anything

I literally could have written this myself!! My little girl is the exact same at the moment. I actually called my HV this afternoon as her appetite has always been amazing and the last 3 days she's just been picking at things she didn't seem overly concerned said it could maybe be her big molars coming in or something's maybe starting to work on her or she's getting over something. She said to just keep offering snacks little and often. Hope this helps ❤️

Is your little one poorly atm?

Even a little cold can put them right off their food.

If no, I would suggest trying something a bit different. If you try to make him eat in a hugh chair/at the table maybe try to go picnic style... my daughter went on a bit of a hunger strike and i was able to get her to eat a few things by relieving the pressure from the high chair.

I would also try as best you can to make it fun.. maybe if Daddy can help, have some food, pretend go and feed him and then eat if yourself. If he acts shocked and everyone finds it funny you may get him playing the game and eating without really thinking about it.

My last resort is what i call 'zombie eating' when she refuses. I stick her favourite TV show on and feed her... as soon as she stops eating it goes off. I know thats not in any parenting books but, sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do.

I found with my daughter after a month or so of doing crazy things to get her to eat, her appetite increased. She eats well atm! Xx

Either way, a little trip to the doctors may be a good idea, hopefully they can reassure you or offer some better guidance than us! Xx

Are you still breastfeeding? If so, he's probably getting everything he needs from your milk, so no need to worry. It's probably a phase that will pass - the same thing happened to us and our little girl came back to the foods she enjoyed after a few months.
