Just wondered if this had happened to anyone else. Ds would eat anything but the last few meals he's had about four spoonfuls then rest has been a real struggle. I can do silly dancing and he'll open his mouth and I can get some food in but it's not an ideal solution!

His firth tooth has just appeared so it might be that. BUT he doesn't spit the food out or cry while eating, and will happily eat yoghurt for pudding.

He does feed himself a bit too, I have always given him finger food. But there's going to be a massive shortfall if I switch to mainly finger food as most of it goes on the floor.

Any ideas?

Kids go through funny stages with eating.If he won't eat eat stay relaxed and offer him something later.
As long as he's having milk he'll be fine
