My son is 1, and has recently stopped eating as he usually would. He used to love all the home cooked food I made him and would eat decent portions at lunch and dinner, but for at least the last week he’s hardly eaten much, especially at lunch.
I don’t know if I’m filling him up too much in the morning maybe?
Breakfast is usually a weetabix with whole milk and half a banana and sometimes peanut butter at 8am. He always eats all of breakfast.
Snack of a small portion of yogurt, usually with a couple of blueberries at 10:15.
Lunch at 12:30 can be anything like eggs and beans, curry, toast, crackers etc. Today he ate two small spoons of egg and beans and nothing else. I offered toast, a breadstick and half a banana but he threw them on the floor.
I usually offer a snack of an oaty fruit bar or melty puffs about 3ish. Sometimes he’ll eat these, sometimes not.
Dinner is around 5:15pm and is things like curry, meatballs, bolognese, cheesy pasta, jacket potato etc.
Do you think he’s having too much in the morning and that’s why he won’t eat so much for lunch or dinner? Or he’s having food too often, though I thought they go about 2-3 hours between food at this age? I’m trying to work out if he’s just getting fussy with food or if he needs less food. He runs around aaaalll day so I feel like he needs the calories and nutrients but he doesn’t seem to agree! 🤦🏻♀️
