don't know how to explain this: we've gone from 3 meals a day and four milk feeds, all very happy and successful, to seven month old ds starting to refuse anything that isn't sweet (he only has fruit, has never had added sugar) or avocado. yesterday and today he got himself into such a state so quickly that he wouldn't take anything at all (i never try to force things, but have found in the past that if i leave it for a bit and try again, he will take something that he has refused). only breastfeeding would pacify him. and just now he breastfed in a comfort sucking way for ages, and nearly fell asleep like that. he always falls asleep in his cot from awake, the last thing in the world i want is for him to start needing feeding to go to sleep...what the hell is going on? i feel so depressed about this, i don't know how to make it ok again or what has made it go like this. his behaviour is so weird. or maybe it's me and i'm missing something here. we've both had a cold (but getting better now) and he is teething, but he has two teeth through already and has never done this before...help someone...
