My DS is generally a fantastic eater and not fussy at all (even eats and enjoys veg). However, about a week ago he started a bout of teething the pain of which we have not come across to compare. We give him the usual carrot batons, cucumber sticks, toast etc and his teethers. When it comes to mealtimes - he won't go into his high chair and won't eat. He just starts to wail. He gets calpol, ashton/ parsons powders, calgel etc and infacol for the wind (as he is not eating properly). He has lost an amount of weight (he feels light). To make things worse I reckon his poor eating has contributed to him getting a cold and he hasn't had one for ages.
He won't eat his usual favourites (mashed sweet potato, potatoes, chicken, broccoli and other veg).
He will eat toast, steamed carrot batons, fruit, pasta, tomatoes, cheese, and some small amount of sardine (he is having very little protein). Needless to say I am stuck for recipes for him and rapidly running out of ideas of what to cook.
Please someone help. It's very distressing when your LO consistently refuses the food you have cooked and you feel there is nothing you can do.
PS he is due for the year old injections and I am getting worried that his system won't be able to take it and he will get even more ill.
