Hoping someone has advice. My 18 month old has been refusing most food for the last few weeks. She's reverted back to only wanting milk after a bout of illness which has now resolved. She has a few spoonfuls of food throughout the day & at night refuses everything. She has a bottle of milk before bed every night & was previously sleeping all night but since the saga began, has been waking overnight for more milk 2-3 times because she's hungry from not eating all day.
We've tried gradually cutting back the milk overnight, letting her cry (it's gone on for too long to ignore), I've tried cooking multiple different meals in the evenings...refuses everything. She goes to the fridge & wants milk throughout the day which I don't let her have in the hope that she'll eat but nothing works. I've just cooked stew, tried melon, carrots, grapes, sweet corn, cheese sandwich, broccoli, baked potato tonight. Refused it all and cried until I put her down from the table & now wants milk which I've told her she can't have. If we put her in the high chair, she shouts "down"and cries so I've tried feeding her in her other chair but that's not worked either. DH & I both work & have to be up early so we need to get this sorted out as it's really becoming an issue
I'm going to bed as early as I can as I know I'll be up overnight multiple times but by the time I get back from work with the commute & do the daily jobs, there's a limit to how early I can go. I'd be very grateful of any advice as this isn't sustainable.
