My 15MO DS has always been a bit unreliable with food - even with his bottles when he was really young. He seemed to have got so much better since he turned 1 but recently he has got so difficult. So much so that I had to take myself away for a cry earlier when yet again he refused the food I had cooked for him (food which I know he likes because he's eaten it before).
It started with a refusal to use a spoon (up until then he had been spoon fed alongside self-feeding finger foods). I thought maybe he's just growing up and wants the independence of feeding himself. So I spent ages making some nice finger foods for him (and of course he hate buts of banana and cheese etc). To start off with, that worked great. But the last couple of days...nothing. Just the odd bite here and there, maybe a slice of toast, and as many goji berries as he can fit in his mouth (I know!).
The result is, he's not eating enough during the day, so is waking up ravenous in the night. Eating at night then probably starts up a viscous cycle. I'm knackered and am literally dreading each meal time.
I know it's probably a phase and maybe I'm a bit emotional and need a rant ( am feeling pretty rough). But if anyone does have any advice or has been through (and come out the other end of) a similar situation, please do let me know!!
Oh, and let me know if I've posted in the wrong place...
