10 month old stopped eating

Hi everyone,

My 10 month DS used to be a brilliant eater and always loved his food. He ate most things

Since, about 1.5 weeks ago, he has suddenly stopped eating all his favourite foods. Breakfast we would always have porridge, rusk, egg etc and now he wont touch any of that. He won’t eat rice, chicken, potato, veg etc which he used to love at dinnertime. I have no idea why. He tastes the first bite of whatever I give him. Then spits it out and after that it is a flat out refusal to even open his mouth.

He does still drink his milk and has his fruit. Nothing else.

It has suddenly gotten very hot here and I am not sure if it is linked to that. I have tried yoghurts, cold porridge and frozen fruit lollies. He likes the lollies, sometimes the yoghurt but nothing else.

Any advice thanks

Ahh okay that is interesting. I will have him checked over and see if that helps.

Thanks

As pp is there anything to indicate DC could be abit unwell?
But it is common for them to go through phases.
Does he have bottles before or after a meal?
If before, how long before hand?
Also has he dropped any bottles?

He doesnt seem ill or have a temperature or anything like that. He has always rubbed his ears. Doctor said they are fine but it has made me think it could be that.

Varies. Breakfast he has food first and milk later. But I do switch it up sometimes. Afternoon he has milk first and food about 1.5 hours later.

Not in the past two weeks. But for about a month he had dropped his afternoon milk and his nighttime. Since he stopped food I have been giving him milk in the afternoon to make up for it and he himself has been waking up for milk at night too.

He has 4 teeth atm. Not anymore that I can see but it is possible. Hopefully it is something minor like that and he will get back into his food soon
