14mo refusing to eat

So dd started off a great water, trying everything she was given and eating most things. She gradually got a bit more picky but was still a good eater, until a few weeks ago! She will not refuse almost everything I give her, unless it's a baby puff, even these she's not too fussed about.

She does have molars coming through which seem to be taking forever, but I'm worried about her hardly eating anything!

Is this normal? She is still BF so I know she's getting something but she's not taking that much milk now

Normal, especially when teething. Don't force it and try and stay relaxed.

I work in childcare- refusing to eat is a very normal phase but it worrys parents a lot. If they are really hungry children will eat, they just go through time of not wanting/needing much. Then us adults rush round, getting in a state trying to get them to eat anything. Keep offering what you used to and try not to worry- easier said than done!

Thank you both, that's made me feel better! I hope it's a short phase, don't like the thought of her being hungry all day :-(
