Can anyone help? My little boy just turned 2 and just isnt eating much at all. Hes dropped a whole centile in less than 3 months. If he drops another one he will be under the 9th. He just looks so skinny. Hes not due another weigh in via the HV team until June. Last weigh in was middle of March.
We give him a balanced diet and all the things he likes pasta, cheese, carrots, fruit, cereal, yogurt, wholemeal bread, chicken, fish fingers etc but he only eats a few mouths full.
He has at least an hour sat at the table with no distractions for every meal. We leave around 5 hours between each meal.
Hes not even interested much in snacks of fruit or a little kiddielicious apple bake or only has a bite or 2. Hes stopped drinking a lot of his milk as well. We offer him water as well.
He runs around all day and sleeps well but hes very cranky and grouchy during the day as well which I'm sure is down to him being hungry.
We are waiting for help via the HV team but I'm so worried about his weight loss as is my husband. I feel like I'm failing as a parent so badly right now but dont know what else to do to get him to eat.
Has anyone got any tips or tricks to get my son eating?
