[bumbly]

what food would you entice him back with
normally a healthy eater but never been like this...4 slid days no food bar a fruit smoothy a day!

Hi bumbly, what sort of bug? A tummy upset?

Oh, and how old is he?

Usually a plain biscuit like a rich tea or digestive persuades my lot to start eating again. We don't normally have biscuits in the house, so its a real treat as well.

Then when they've eaten once the hunger starts to kick in and they start wanting to eat again.

You have my sympathies, my ds2 hadn't eaten since Friday until teatime today either. He has since managed a biscuit and half a piece of toast with a scrape of jam on it.

Have just had same thing! DS (3) ate nothing for about 3 days, then only porridge for 2 days, then suddenly starving and eating everything on his plate.

Things he ate early on were satsuma segments, grapes, toast and marmite, and porridge. I just kept making a new snack and offering to share with him every so often, but clearing it up (ok eating it!) quite soon if he really didn't want it.
