Refusal to eat

[Puddalina]

My 10 month old has recently started to refuse all food, she simply won 't open her mouth to even try things, some days I wonder what is keeping her alive! Does anyone have any ideas? I am desperate as it is making me so worried.

My dd was exactly the same (she has made it to n early 4 and is fit and healthy) and she still eats very little. DS on the other hans is the same age as yours and eats like a gannet. I trully belive that it is true that a child will not starve themselves. Making an issue of it can make things harder in the future. As long as your happy they aren't ill, just keep offering food (and make sure you keep them hydrated will milk/water). Try giving an interesting selection of finger foods, perhaps it is an independence thing (ie doesn't want to be feed wants to do it herself?)

It's probably teeth and will definitely be just a stage. As long as she is having her milk don't worry too much. My ds lived on petit filous and weetabix at this age!!
