40 weeks old and she won't eat hardly anything! Help!

[Longo]

I started weaning and about 5 months and she did so well, felt quite smug as cooked it all myself and still do. Now in the last two weeks she has gone from eating alot of food, I even thought I was over feeding her at one point to today, eating nothing except her cereal this morning! I make her something different every day, started to mash it so she could feel different textures which helped at first but now nothing at lunchtime, unless I give her yoghurt! At dinner time she will eat marmite sandwiches and thats it!
Its really stressing me out, will teach me for being smug!!
Any advice would be great!

I don't really know if this will help - my DS, now four, ate really well but at about 8 months suddenly refused to eat. I was at my wits end! And he started waking at night with hunger. What it turned out to be was that he wanted to feed himself! So I gave him a spoon and let him try while I fed him too. I also gave him finger foods to try. His little protest went on for about two weeks and then he started eating well again.

it took me a while to figure out how old 40 weeks is about 9 months, right?

i think it's quite normal for kids to go through stages of eating/ not eating etc. perhaps it's time for finger foods? or she's teething or unwell? or trying to master some new skill? all of this can influence her appetite. i wouldn't worry too much about it. i always think my dds don't eat a thing but they grow up and gain weight and seem otherwise normal!

My DS is 8 months and two weeks. We have just come out of the other side of EXACTLY what BagPuss just said. Here's my recent post and answers - seems like pretty normal behaviour...
