She has always been a faddy eater and never had much of an appetite ( except for sweets!)
This last few days she has either been refusing to eat or will take a tiny bite,chew until food is liquified then spits it out normally into her hand or a tissue doing it so she thinks noone will notice!
Consequently shes eaten v little this week and I have stopped all treats but things don't seem to be improving, I'm concerned that this isn't just a silly phase and is something more serious although I realise this is unlikely.
When I a sk her shes says its because shes scared of choking but when I tested her with a fruit pastille ,without her knowing what I was doing, the same didn't seem to apply!
Any thought /ideas/experiences/ would be appreciated Thanks!!
