My toddler is nearly two. Recently and after several illnesses (tummy bugs, heavy colds), she has stopped eating well and keeps asking for milk. She's not sick any more though. She'll hold off eating for hours and ends up melting down and crying with hunger but at this point is too upset to eat. Or will only eat yoghurt.
She never used to eat a lot during the day but would always sit up with us all and have a big dinner. Now she'll sit and pick at for eg her peas, refuse everything else and then soon be crying for milk. But won't touch her dinner. The persuasion methods we used with the older two kids don't work....she just point blank refuses.
She's drinking milk from a cup. She used to mostly just have milk in the morning and before bed....she was happy to drink it but not obsessed.
I know everyone is just going to say don't give any milk and she'll eat when she's hungry.
It's absolutely head wrecking though as we have two older children and are busy and need to go out and about and the lack of eating and then crying with hunger but refusing to eat is very difficult.
