1 year old won't eat

[sampan]

So my fussy 14 month old has decided not to eat anymore. So fussy and will only take three spoonfuls. She has a varied diet with fruit veg etc but I can not get a good meal inside her.

She has her bottle mid morning and bottle afternoon and one before bed which health visitor said she must keep going for now. She drinks all these but when I said I should drop a feed the health visitor said not yet.

She hates being in her high chair and has no interest at all. She has been like this for the last few weeks.

I have tried feeding her and letting her feed herself and none work.

I'm worried she's not getting what she needs. Anyone got any tips or had this before with their LO?

Mine did this too....seemed to co-incide with dropping a nap and cutting a boat load of teeth.... I got so stressed by it which I’m sure made it worse. One day when she was about 18 months old she just started screaming and we couldn’t work out why she was upset and tried everything to settle her and the only thing that worked was food! She inhaled a whole pitta bread and cream cheese in about 5 mins and it feels like she hasn’t stopped eating since! We were so used to her not eating that Crying in hunger never even occurred to us!!
We concluded it was a mixture of being knackered when moving to one nap (ie too tired to eat lunch because she wanted to nap and too tired at teatime to bother with that as she wanted her bed) and once she adjusted to her new awake times she was more interested in food. Also cutting the teeth clearly gave her a sore mouth.
She was never interested in eating breakfast until she gave up her morning milk and had a real appetite for food first thing.
Can see why you’d be inclined to reduce her milk intake; I think I would be too! Mine was down to one bottle a day by 10 months so I know that wasn’t the problem for us, but maybe you could just try it for a week or so and see if it increases appetite for food? If not you can always up the milk again!

Good luck, I know it can be stressful when they won’t eat x

I'm not surprised she doesn't eat if she has 3 bottles milk a day. Milk is very filling.

I don't get it, pretty sure it is only in the UK where they are obsessed with them drinking milk so much and for so long. At 1 year old mine only had milk on the morning and ate normal meals. Here the idea of so much milk at that age once they have solids wouldn't be entertained
