8mth old refusing to eat food? What to do?

5 replies

He used to eat three meals a day including snakcs and milk. Over the last few weeks he has started to refuse food and skip meals. Over the last three days he has eaten one small meal a day (three mouth fulls!)

Apart from being very frustrating and wasteful is it something I need to be worried about. He is only having about 3-4 7oz bottles a day at most.

Do I need to worry?

He might be teething, my dd went off food for a good few days and got 3 teeth in one go

is it teething?
Mine did this too, I just kept on with the milk and worried too much. Now I wish I had not worried as it sorted itself out in the end. Milk should be main source of food until they are one anyway.

He has been teething for a while now but no teeth yet. Did wonder if it might have something to do with it.

Just give him milk and don't worry about it.

He is having plenty of milk - they need 16-20 oz.
