Ds3 - aged 3, nearly 4, suddenly a terrible eater, as in no appetite. No he is not sickening for something. This has been going on for weeks now and he is fit as a fiddle and happy as a flea.
I have been through all this before with my other 3, but with them, I wore myself to a frazzle, battling to make them eat. I always said I would be different with my youngest. So, so far, I have not worried too much about what he eats, and fortunately, his diet has not been too bad. he hates vegetables, but eats quite a few fruits, and I don't worry too much about the amount of carbohydrates my children eat as I think they need carbohydrates. Snacks between meals are a big no-no though.
Up until a few weeks ago then, it wasn't too much of a problem what ds3 ate. but suddenly, he eats (and drinks) hardly anything. Today, for instance he did quite well at breakfast - ate nearly all a Weetabix, but drank no milk. Lunchtime, he ate some pasta and tuna (normally has a sandwich) and some Pringles and 3 pieces of banana and a quarter of apple. But now we have finished tea and he has eaten one mouthful of potato and one tiny bit of carrot. I am feeling frantic. I want to get the plate and fork and start feeding him like I did the others. Should I? Or should I stick to my promise to do things differently, and clamly throw my lovely lamb casserole in the bin?
