Fussy eater

Hi mummas, I hope today is kind to you all! I have a 23 months old Toddler who doesn’t even eat anything except milk. I am really worried, i am trying to cut down milk, but he goes without eating anything for the whole day. I keep trying everything, he just takes it in and spit it out straight away. He doesn’t even eat fruits, any type of meat, food nothing. So worried. Anyone in the same or similar boat? Thank you. (Worried mum)

Hey Shahla, I hear you! I have some ideas for you to look into and I hope they help. So my daughter is almost 18 months and is pretty much the same as your boy. She still has 5 bottles of milk a day and refuses to eat. We are lucky if she has some berries, and some cheese in a day. I have been told the following: - see an Osteopath to relieve muscle tension through the neck and jaw - get a specialist to assess for a tongue tie - see a doctor for a speech pathologist referral to assess swallowing With our daughter we realised it is an inability to swallow food properly is why she chews and spits it out. This might be the same with your baby! It's not that they don't like food or textures or anything like that but that they try to swallow and their tongue/mouth/throat won't let them do it properly.

It's so worrying when they're like that. If I was in your situation I would definitely talk with a doctor or paediatrician. Unfortunately other mums, most times, aren't specialised in this sort of thing and some advice could be more dangerous than helpful.

My baby boy doesn't love food either but he has binges every now and then.
