Just a phase?

Our little boy used to be a great eater, especially at breakfast. Quite often he would eat 2 weetabix, plus some of our toast and some berries. Over the last while, he just hasn't seemed as bothered by food, barely eating anything at meals and just grazing on snacks. He also keeps wanting to play with his food again as though it's messy play, so foods he previously loved like peas, he now squishes between his fingers. I don't know if this is just a phase or whether it's down to the fact he has yet another cold! Has anyone else found this?

Yeah our little girl loves her food but seems to be playing with it a lot lately. She has 3 molars coming through so I’m wondering if that’s why… but she also keeps asking for “biscs” and keeps pointing to the biscuit tin 😂

We are the same. My little girls molars are also coming through 2 have cut at the top just waiting on the bottom 2 she’s also got a lateral incisor coming in. Like Jess, our LG is also asking for biscuits (babets) constantly even when she’s waking in the night.

We’re definitely going through this “phase” atm! I’m finding I’m having to disguise a lot more foods these days as my LG has become so fussy! She used to eat a variety of fruits and veggies. She was always pretty good with meat- mostly chicken, but now she’ll separate it from her food and will barely touch it. The only food I don’t have to hide or blend up in to a smoothie are bananas, sweet potatoes and carrots- she’s weirdly a massive fan of carrots atm so it’s not all bad I guess 🙃 Our safe foods which she eats a lot of are pasta and yogurt! About the only thing she’ll really eat these days 🤦🏻‍♀️

We are going through this at the min with our little girl. She’s cutting some more teeth though so we think it’s just that
