Please can someone advise me, my dd refuses to eat any food! She just wants dry corn flakes and chocolates or biscuits. I have now removed all sweets from her and try the "she will eat if she is hungry", but over the weekend Saturday & Sunday, all she ate was breakfast cereal!!! I cant leave her without food like that and yesterday I tried pinning her down and forcing her to eat but that was too traumatising for both of us so I left it. What do I do????

I wonder if we should put formula in the milk at night when they go to lie down like when they were infants? Wonder if it will fill them up, and at least give them the vitamins they need? Anyone else have an opinion of whether this is a good or bad idea? Its better than nothing!

this message is to Nickinha my son is now 18 months and he went through the same thing refusing to eat which resulted in him losing a lot of weight so i gave him 'MINADEX' its a tonic that builds children up fast it contains vitamin A & D plus iron. This makes children VERY hungary and within two days my son was eating three full meals a day plus snacks it only costs about £3 give it a go its brilliant!
