Dd is 12m and is breastfed. Food is so hit and miss. We did blw with a tiny bit of spoon feeding. She doesn't entertain breakfast or lunch and sometimes will eat dinner. Generally shows no interest in food. She bfs around 4-5 a day and sleeps through the night. At the moment she is very poorly with an upper respiratory viral infenection and has not eaten a thing since Saturday and has upped her bfs. Whilst I completely understand that she doesn't want to eat right now, I can't help worry that she will ever eat again. It's bad enough trying to get her to eat when she is well, but now she is like this I can't see her ever eating again. Seriously I am so worried now and can't take anymore. I don't know where to go from here. Normally we all sit down to eat together and I put the food infront of her with cutlery and she explores and no pressure. Nothing goes in and if it does its a tiny amount. I've tried sitting her in my lap and letting her take from my plate but she just throws it everywhere and probably thinks its a game. I can't keep living like this. Please surely someone has some advice for me x
