Help! my 10 m dd refuses to eat

I've done baby led weaning coz she refuses to eat off the spoon. And now she refuses to eat anything other than peas, blueberrys and grapes. She has 4 front teeth coming through all at the same time so I thought it's just teething but she does eat those 3 things previously mentioned so surely it can't be teeth. I don't know what to do. Has it happened to anyone else? please help! x

How much milk is she having? I'd say just keep offering a variety of things to her, try not to stress and get her weighed regularly. It could well be teeth or just a fussy stage. Sometimes when I'm I'll I don't feel like eating but if you put my favourite foods down in front of me I bet I'd eat them. How long has she been like this? If you are very worried you could speak to your HV.

she use to have just 3 milk feeds a day now she wants milk non stop ( she is breastfed)
we have had stages like that before but non so bad and long. It has been going on about a week now.

Good point about eating favorite foods. I think this it. Poor little miss must feel awful :(
thank you for your advice

I wouldn't worry too much. I'd put a load of peas on top of some mashed potato and the same with blueberries on porridge/ready brek. Those little fingers will end up with a bit of potato and porridge on em :)
