Advice needed for blw

DS is 8m an the last few days he hasn't been eating, really, he'll have maybe a bite or two, and then sweep all his food onto the floor. He does this with everything, even old favourites and easy things like breadsticks.

Phase? Do I spoon feed? He doesn't seem hungry, is still having all milk feeds, wondering if it may be teething? He'll eat anything from a spoon, but he always has, is like a baby bird, but the inclination to eat seems to have left him when left to his own devices.

We seem to flit between spoons and finger food and combinations of both depending on DD's mood.

Could be a phase. Maybe try and spoon feed a yoghurt\fruit puree and see if he's receptive. I figure that if they won't eat something sweet then they're not hungry.

I guess teething could affect his inclination to chew/gum stuff if it hurts. Is he otherwise ok in himself? If he's sickening for something perhaps he's not that hungry.

He'll eat anything spooned. Part of the reason we moved to blw was because he will eat until he's sick if he's spoonfed, but eat to appetite with blw. Think I shall spoon feed at least a meal until he starts going back to feeding himself. I don't think he's particularly hungry as he's not creating, and he seems well.

Think teeth may be it. He's gnawing at his toys and a bit whingy.
