Hi all, my little one recently had a growth spurt and is eating very little and no proper meals since then, but it's been two months of not eating much so a bit worrying. She's not losing weight and seems healthy. She also potty trained well, but about a month ago started having accidents again. She's also being very emotional and clingy and wants a lot of cuddles from me and sometimes wants me to hold her drinker for her to feed her milk like a baby. I'm fine with all this as I know it will pass. Everything except the food refusal started around the time I started having to work from the office 4 days a week, I worked from home for 6 months previously, could it be the cause of some of this? She's largely been raised at home as the Welsh government don't offer free childcare until age 3 so she gets more nursery from January. She's got 7 hours nursery a week at present through flying start as she was slightly speech delayed. I don't think she is technically speech delayed any more but is at the bottom end of the pass rate for ages and stages when it comes to verbal communication, so communication is still a bit of a challenge although constantly improving and no referrals have been needed. She's currently going through quite a speech boom, and she's also prone to having split nights intermittently (cannot wait until they end, it's been 1.5 years Thanks of them on and off.)
Thanks for any advice or reassurance!
