Argument over son not eating food
Show your support
Yeah I agree with @Alyssa I had to remind myself that my son isn't going let himself starve. His Mind just isn't on that type of time so if he needs it he will eat it. If he wants it he will eat it.
Have a conversation with your partner away from your child and make him understand that your son is still unwell and simply has no appetite. Ask him about how he feels about food after he’s been sick? And tell him if he’s response is he doesn’t have much of an appetite for a little while that that’s how your son feels? Explain that kids are not stupid, when they are hungry they will eat. But forcing them will only make matters worse for everyone. Hope your son gets better soon x
@Jasmine I have had this conversation with him before I’m afraid explained he is human and when we don’t feel good we don’t necessarily eat either he only seems to understand temporarily but thank you mama x
When my daughter isn’t feeling well she eats less too. And I always tell myself as long as she’s drinking enough fluids. Does your son like smoothies? Or maybe even pediasure so he’ll get more calories. Adults seem to forget that littles ones taste buds are constantly changing so one thing they liked last week they may not eat the next and that’s okay. Forcing a child to eat something will cause more issues with picky eating down the road. They’ll eat what they want/need.
