9 month old has stopped eating well and only eats very small amount usually finger foods

my ds was a great little eater now since teething with his first 2 teeth about a month ago he is refusing much food and wanting moe milk. Has anyone else found this?

Mine went through a stroppy phase about 9/10 mo I think. Refused anything on a spoon. I took the hint and just let him pick up as much or as little as he wanted.

You might find it's a phase related to teething or it could be that he's asserting his independence!

I think it takes some faith to step back at trust them to eat enough - I found it difficult but I did it.

That's what I've been doing letting him have finger foods- tonight he ate much better and fed himself with the spoon- asserting independence I think! Thanks for support
