Hi ladies, a little advise will be much appreciated. My son is 9 months old and is on 3 meals a day, although that is struggle! You see he has never been much of a eater or drinker 😭 I used to offer him 5 oz bottles 4 times a day however in the last week or so he has refused almost all of his milk. In 24 hours he consumes around 8 oz or 10 oz max! There's not much I can do... I do offer but he flat out refuses, cries so much. He is not unwell, temp is normal. It's really stressing me out... has this happened to anyone else? My son is tiny so I guess I can't expect him to eat so much... just difficult when you have people saying done you feed your child!

Thank you in advance ladies x

Have you tried him with water?

Are you offering fluid before meals?

Keep an eye on urine output and if it carries on then seek medical help.

Teething? If it's only been a week or may pass. Habe you changed formula or bottles? Have you recently introduced a new food?
