He's 11mo, never a great eater, but seemed to get the hang of things a couple of months ago. the last couple of weeks, he's started refusing almost anything savoury. even the old favourites don't work. he's getting skinnier too.
not sure what's best to do - I constantly debate in my head (and with dp) whether we are best to offer alternative food he will eat (ie fruit or yoghurt) if he refuses his meal, or to just say "oh, well if you won't eat you won't get anything else". I fear the former will encourage him to keep refusing proper food, but also can't refuse him something when he's screaming and signing hungry at me, at the same time as throwing his peas on the floor (to take this evening as an example).
will he ever start eating again? (ok, I know he will, but when?) and how do we deal with this phase?
