16mth DS eating less ...

[likessleep]

.. is this normal? he used to wolf down loads, but now he eats much smaller portions.
TIA

my daughter just went through a few days of eating next to nothing and we call her a snack monster. It turns out she had a bug that was going around that makes them feel lousy and loss of appetite, hunger = moody, moody = tantrums and that was our week but seems to be eating more now.. hopefully thats just it..
OR it could be that he was having a growth spurt and now is comming out of it ergo doesnt need as much to eat.. just a thought

thanks livysmum, he has been teething the last month or so and did has a sickness bug beginning of last week. but his appetite has reduced for longer than that. it is a bit weird. he seems happy in himself, but he does look slimmer. i just hope it isn't the start of fussiness
