I had a phone appt with our local wellbeing team today with regards to my childs very restricted eating.

Their advice was to let him go hungry.

I give up. I am the only person my child trusts to take his difficulties seriously, how can I starve him????
Am I supposed to wait until he passes out through hunger??!! I've been told to inform school what I'm doing so they don't report me to social services!

I have seen two different feeding teams in two different areas I have lived in. One was supportive and said to carry on encouraging different foods and said it would be a very slow process but to carry on like this. The second team thought my child was just naughty and would give in eventually if hungry. I took the advice of the first team!
