My nearly 9 month old DS has never been hugely into food but seems to be getting worse by the day. He's not scared of food and seems willing to give things a try but tends to eat very little. He regularly has bad food days where we fall back on small amounts of safe (finger) foods because he's rejected other things
The last two days he has eaten next to nothing. I would estimate that his food intake over each of these days has been less than most babies his age would eat in one meal.
He has 3 milk feeds a day ? 2 BF and, since last week, one bottle (only because he'd lost all interest in daytime BF).
What do I do? Apart from a slight cold he seems well enough. He is a highly active child and his calorie intake cannot possibly be adequate at the moment.
How long should I give his food refusal before I ask a professional? Should I try to give him more milk in lieu of food?
I should say that he is slim and small and has very little fat to fall back on in times of self imposed famine.
Advice would be really appreciated
