13mo ds has always been an astoundingly good eater - it provokes comments wherever he goes. However, seemingly overnight he has turned into nightmare boy & just will not eat his meals. He will sometimes, just about, drink a pint of milk over the course of the day, & will have the odd breadstick or dried apricot or strip of bread, but meals-wise he just plays with the cutlery or tips the plate upside-down, or just chucks everything on the floor, bit-by-bit. I try not to react - I just remove the food & get him down from the chair. If he won't let me feed him, I give him cutlery or encourage him to use his fingers, but to no avail. He now wakes up v early in the morning, starving (but then faffs about with breakfast.)
One thing: he had a bit of a cold last week which meant he threw-up mid-meal on 2 occasions - could he be scared to eat a lot?
