This is a nightmare! We finally demanding a referral to a gasterenterologist who did an endoscopy yesterday but couldn't find anything. My son has on ave 300 mls milk a day and refuses feeds. He will accept dry finger foods and is drinking less and less milk each day. Today he has ended the day on 250mls of milk only. What do we do now, can anyone suggest anything or help us

You didn't tell us how old your son is. I knew an older child who refused food for over a year and no specialist could find anythng and eventually he just started eating a bit more until last i saw him, he was eating normally! The parents just acted like they didn't care if he ate or not. He was still monitored by a doctor though, so keep up your doctor visits!!!

I'm so dumb, sorry i didn't read that you DID tell us how old he is. They do say that children's hunger wains and increases sometimes. I'm sure if he was hungrier he'd eat more. I know you're worried...
