Hi everyone, my 11 month old has recently had quite a nasty cough and cold which put him off his eating and his bottle, the doctor warned me that this would probably happen but that his appetite would be back once the symptoms had cleared up.
His symptoms have been gone for a few days now but he still has no appetite. He used to love food and was a really good eater with a really varied diet, all kinds of tastes and textures but I can't get him to eat more than a couple of spoonfuls of anything now and he won't have any finger food either. He's also totally refusing his bottle or his sippy cup and I'm pretty much resorting to squirting liquids into his mouth with a straw.
I've tried all his favorite foods, tried playing games while eating and letting him feed himself, I'm making about 3 different things every mealtime to try and tempt him and sometimes he ends up crying with hunger but won't eat anything!
I've rung the health visitor for advice, but in the meantime, has anyone else had this? Help!!!
