Refusing to eat!
Hi everyone. My LO has a cold/ bad chest atm. She seems to be unwell often due to being in nursery.
However this time she will not eat a thing. Were on day 3 of refusing EVERYTHING. We've tried her favourite foods, new foods, smaller portions, little and often, I'm just at the end of my tether. I am sick with worry that she's gonna end up ill from it. What can I do?! 😭

Don’t worry too much, I know it’s easier said than done, it’s perfectly normal to have a loss of appetite when they’re poorly, mine was like this when he had tonsillitis and once the antibiotics had stated working he was eating better. If their throat is sore that I can imagine they won’t want to eat. I would maybe try a fruit pouch with they or something like a banana which is very soft. X
Can u blend stuff up into smoothies? Go back to pouches for a while? Maybe try eating while on the go. E.g if shes wandering around or playing try ans sneak a bit of food in her mouth and see if she takes it
