3yr old who won't / can't eat solids

[ingles2]

Anyone have any experience of this?
My mum and I have been talking tonight about my cousins son, who we both believe has developmental delays and should be seen by the HV. He has only recently learnt to speak as well, but only repeats the same phrase. Aunt and Cousin refuse to see any professionals as they are too frightened. Does this ring any bells with anyone?
Thanks a lot

post in sn. lots of us have had trouble with feeding.

why are they frightened? surely if they can get some help for him then it's better to get it sooner rather than later?

Thanks 2shoes

It's a very very long story, involving mental health issues!
