My DS will be 2 years old in a couple of weeks. He's quite tall and used to look healthy with chubby cheeks. In the last few weeks he's just stopped eating. He's had a cold and sore throat so I've resorted to giving him soft foods for the time being.
Aside from the cold he just says no after a few spoonfuls of his dinner. On the other hand you could give him hundreds of yogurts and he will eat them. Some of it is pure fussing and some of it is probably to do with his teeth hurting.
I'm so fed up. He's generally a lovely sweet boy but meal times make the whole day a misery. I'm finding it so hard because he's looking thin and I've noticed his trousers are so loose they fall down. I stuck him on the scales and he's put on 2kg since he was weighed by a HV in April and is on the same centile but I'm not convinced because so many people have noticed how thin he's looking.
Does anyone have any advice on how I can fatten him up healthily? Or how do you deal with a fussy eater? At the moment I'm dreading every morning because I know meal times will be a battle
