I would really appreciate anyone's help with this one. I am trying hard to be chilled at mealtimes but still don't if I'm taking the right tack with DS or not...
He is 13 months and hasn't eaten a single meal for 2 weeks now. The best he has done in that time is 5 spoons of main course and a 100g yoghurt. Most meals are 2 tiny spoons worth. He has finished a course of AB's for a thraot and ear infection but is still not eating. He showed no other symptoms of being ill apart from the not eating.
I guess I'm starting to think this is a behaviour thing... Is that possible in a child so young? I say that because he is still happy to eat breadsticks and chases after us if we have a banana or apple. He will still only have a couple of bites I hasten to add. He is defo hungry as he then drinks lots of milk after a refused meal. I have tried giving him no milk in the day- makes no difference...he just refuses his meals and then needs huge volumes of milk to settle at night- 13oz!
Just wondered if anyone has experienced anything similar? Please!
