My DS who is almost two has started refusing almost every meal for the past two months. This has happened before for a couple of weeks at a time which I ignored after taking advice from HV etc and true enough the phase ended. He has always been lean but in the last couple of months he is positively skeletal with ribs all over the place. I have been too scared to have him weighed but he's probably 9th centile (lost weight infact). The only food he'll eat is scrambled eggs, but shows no interest in things he would have normally liked. He's not a great milk drinker either. I am more worried this time because the phase has not come to an end. To top my own concern, my mother who sometimes looks after him has telephoned me from abroad to say that one of her relations who is a GP has suggested that he is frustrated and angry with me because I am not giving him enough time and attention and this is how he can show it. I am gutted as I feel guilty enough about working and even worse MIL yesterday agreed (I wouldn't have told her if I'd known, I was looking for sympathy). I am doubting myself now and feel guilty and cannot convince myself otherwise. I would be grateful for help and advice, even if you all agree with the great matriarchs..Everything is made worse by the fact that I don't have the luxury of being able to give up work right now even if that was the answer.
