Dinner stress

18 month old hasn’t had dinner 3 days in a row now.. and not for us trying! He just has refused everything we’ve given to him. Even did a large gap in between lunch and try to avoid giving him snacks and still doesn’t want anything! I think he could be teething slightly as his bum has been really sore as well.. but it’s so stressful and disheartening when he’s not eating.. any help would be great? Or just mural support 😂

Right there with you. My boy is 17months, will eat on the two days he's at nursery, but at home he survives entirely on dry cereal the occasional banana and what remains of my will to live. Genuinely stressing me out to the point where I've been crying today out of desperation. Here for any tips or advice though 🤞🏼

Just went through this for 5 days. Literally only have weetabix or cheerios breakfast and corn on the cob for dinner. eventually came back after 5 days. Is he teething?

@Helen so sorry you’ve been so stressed! It’s so so hard. I think we just need to be persistent with it and keep trying.. I think that’s easier said than done 🫶🏻

@Loriene I think my LO is teething. Hopefully this is just a phase 🤞🏻

My little one goes through these phases when he is teething I just give him a picky tea his fave snacks etc yoghurts fruits and if drinking plenty it’s fine for not to eat for a few days properly xx

If he has nappy rash, this is how HFM started for us. Offer more milk as he could start to refuse fluids too like our LO did when she got the mouth blisters. It improves in a few days but sad to watch them in the meantime, so sorry if this is what he has 😔

My little girl did this but with breakfast and lunch for about 2 weeks refused everything….Suddenly back to normal! Very odd xx
