Refusing to eat by himself/development

[Passthebrownsauce]

My son will be 3yo in March and seems to have taken a step backwards with regards to eating... he used to eat by himself using cutlery and ate everything what was given to him, but now he only eats if I spoonfeed him and is an extremely fussy eater, even sometimes eating nothing all day! He still drinks from a sippy cup, refusing to drink from a normal cup or bottle, even with a straw! And he does not want try going on the toilet... the times I have tried he goes rigid and cries hysterically! What can I do to help with his development?

That does sound so difficult. What does he do if you put the food and drink in front of him and eat your meal and blithely ignore any protests?

@BunnyRuddington
He either just would not eat or begin shouting! 😫

I think at 3 you can stand him not eating a meal or two. Tomorrow I'd eat with him, maybe put on an audio story for him to listen to abs just eat at the same time.

If he doesn't eat, just assume he's not hungry and clear away.

Am going to try tomorrow! To think that he used feed himself so nicely!!
