My dd 17 months doesn't eat she's loseing weight.waiting for hospital appointment she got weaned at 6 months with homemade foods Okish til she turned one. Then it went down hill she's been ill a few times this year two ending with 999 call then a and e. she started loseing weight ( last time she got done was just under 20ibs ) no matter what I make her it ends on the floor or on me you name it ive tried it . It's really getting me down am worried about her even now just posting I want to cry I hate meal times which isn't helping her eat more anyone with anything that can help please post am willing to try anything now
Here's what her food looked like today Tia
Breakfast branflakes milk banana yogurt she had few branflakes and yogurt
Lunch chesse on toast with oatcakes and grapes had some grapes
Dinner homemade beef burgers super milkshake ( its what I give her now I just put a lot of stuff in blender and put it in her cup ) had her super milkshake
Snacks are mainly rice cakes biscottis has water and 7oz bottle before bed please don't have a go cos she's still on bottle at bed some days that's all she has :(

Half a slice of bread with spread tiny but of mash with sauce and her super milkshake I make her now which is half a cup of Greek yogurt 3 strawberries and a banana

Well done Sunshine. Don't be despondent if tomorrow's a step back day.

And remember, very few people in RL really admit if things are shit. Surely you know by now that every baby except yours sleeps eight hours straight, eat everything in the Tana Ramsey cookbook and do all their times tables.

I had a friend with a failure to thrive baby erm 30 years ago, in the end she ate an awful lot of chocolate!!! At the end of the day she needed calories and that was one of the few foods she would eat. Perfectly healthy functioning adult now.

If ignoring/not attention whilst eating works that is fab

Agree with above, distract, try little nibbles, try to relax (or at least seem relax).

But please don't give bran flakes, and avoid rice cakes. What's healthy for an adult is not for a child. Bran flakes are too harsh, try weetabix or Cheerios. Rice cakes are fine in moderation but they are empty calories and will fill the tummy without providing sustenance. You need high fat, high protein.

For my DS texture was everything, he'd eat puréed or finger food but not lumpy mush.

Hope it goes well with the paed.

Great stuff op, let's hope she builds on that tomorrow! But don't worry if she doesn't, it can be step forward, step back.

Glad to hear you had some success, long may it continue!
