DS is 13 months old and has had a coldy bug on and off for a few weeks - seems to get something new every time he goes to nursery, and all his little friends are coldy and coughy too.
He is MUCH better than he was and not actively sick anymore but - he used to be such a good eater and is violently refusing food. I'm lucky to get 10 spoons in, and it's a struggle with wailing (him and me) and back arching (just him), whereas previously he'd wolf down maybe a whole 12 month sized jar.
He's also alot more grizzly and sleeping a lot more during the day, and being really cuddly. He'll scream if I put him down on the floor even for a few minutes (previously he'd happily play on his own and chase the cats for 20 minutes while I tidied up), so I'm lugging him around with me for a quiet life, but can't be much fun for him.
I know he's not sick anymore, but it's like his character has completely changed. When he's relaxed he's his usual smiley self but it doesn't last very long, and food has just become this battleground, and it's awful. Anyone got any ideas - do you think it's just post sickness, feeling a bit rough and not fancying food, or is this a shiny new phase. He's never really had separation anxiety before, so I wonder whether he's just feeling a bit ropey still.
I know he won't starve himself, but seriously, how can he survive on so little? - today he has had half a kiwi, half a slice of toast (which took about an hour to finish), 10 little spoons of HIPP, half a satsuma, a rice cake and a Petit Filou. Completely refused dinner and his bedtime milk. Help!!
