16 month DS refusing to eat

He has just cut another tooth, is back to his normal happy self but is now refusing to eat apart from at breakfast time. Have tried both soft & finger foods & he is just not interested at all in food. Have also tried distraction techniques & telling off - but nothing working. Frustrating as he was a good eater & receptive to all different flavours. Is this a common problem / a phase which I should just run with?

He's not going to starve himself - just don't make a big deal of it. I'd try to make breakfast substantial and nutritious though.
