Hello... I'm new here and this is a first time post so please forgive me if I'm in the wrong bit or something!
I have a three year old who has always been quite a good eater until recently. He has started wanting me to feed him again (we have an 8 month old who I spoon feed so I think this must be the reason...?) but also he has started to not finish his meals and then ask for snacks all the way until the next meal.
Until now I'd been giving in to him - all healthy snacks, fruit, rice cakes etc. But I'm becoming really frustrated. Why won't he eat meals- I don't give him things he doesn't like but still he'll have a few bits and then tell me he's done - then 15minutes later be demanding a snack because he's hungry!! Do I carry on giving him snacks? I'm worried that he's not eating enough already he's got a very slight frame like his dad.
We have had a few set backs in the last couple of weeks- a knock to the teeth and a glandular infection but neither seem to be bothering him too much and certainly haven't affected his ability to eat...
sorry if that was a bit rambly but any advice would be welcomed!!
