Hi, I'm a nanny and currently look after a little boy who is 21 months. He is teething a bit at the moment, and is slightly irritable and whingy. However this week he has started refusing his main meal (breakfast, lunch and tea), but will eat fruit that I offer after, and snacks in between (fruit, cheesy biscuits, rice cakes and yogs etc). He is usually a good eater, and I know they go through phases so have tried not to get too obviously anxious at meal times and be casual. I also make sure he gets a taste of whatever it is off the spoon in the hope he realises he likes it.
Do I just keep going like this? In the hope he'll start eating again? How much fruit/things he will eat should I offer and when? Any advice would be appreciated.
