6 year old refusing to eat (underweight)

[Riverandrocks]

We are under a dietitian but so far things aren't working. He has a very limited diet so have been working on trying new foods. He has his foods I know he eat and a plate with some new foods on. Hes yet to touch them but now is refusing to eat anything. We are on day two off not eating. He's still drinking still.

He has adhd, behaviour problems and possibly asd).

If this is only day two of not wanting to eat then he's possibly just coming down with something. As long as he's drinking plenty I wouldn't worry for the time being.

My ds eats three different meals on rotation and the same thing for breakfast and same thing for lunch every day. Occasionally I ask him if he will try something new and occasionally he agrees but usually can't tolerate it in his mouth. Meal times are stress free and he eats a healthy amount. Very little fruit and veg. Dietitian says he eats from all food groups only needs an iron supplement. She said I need to accept he might always be like this.

He's asked for some sandwiches to share with his sister and me. Not ideal at night but he's finally eaten something! He was so proud off hisself for making late snack

Yay! What a good boy, hope he's OK.

Brilliant

Progress.

Take the new things off the plate my 5yo is a fussy eater too he doesn't have any asd issues but he does freak at new things on his plate and wont eat until they are taken away. I think all dc around this age are fussy and like a beige bland diet.
If he isn't eating then just give him things he does like and not stress about it, if he likes sandwiches then just make some and leave them on the side for him to help himself as and when he wants it. At this present time we are all a bit fraught and frantic not eating is maybe him not coping without the routine he had before. Cut both yourself some slack he will eat eventually.
Having school dinners helped mine (obviously not for you at the minute) but they tried new things because it was the only thing on offer and they say there friends eating it. My ds who is 5 eats all sorts at school he would freak at if I gave it him
