Every single day is a battle to get my child to eat food. He has zero interest in food and will go days without eating. He drinks perfectly fine but hates food. All of his previous safe foods are no longer an option this is day 3 of refusing to eat it I’ve never been so worried. We’ve been battling this for over a year and if anything it’s getting worse. The specialists don’t really do a whole lot and i have to wait until December to speak to the dietitian again. He will no longer take the liquid vitamins in his fluids either. Im losing my mind in worry here.

He is 3. This is not new we have been trying to get help with this for well over a year it's getting worse over time.

Im not even remotely qualified to help, however does he like soup? If he’ll drink I wonder if it’s one way to get something into him.

Also, I hope you’re ok and have someone to talk to, I grew up with my little sister having bulimia (and tbh still does but manages it better now). I know it’s not the same as your own child however i can imagine how hard this is for you.

I've tried soups in beakers etc just because he freaks out over liquid foods and he didn't like it, I've tried making it fun, I've tried being firm with him, he just literally doesn't have interest in food
