Refusing food

Apparently it is normal at one year old to go off food for a bit, either due to teething (even ones you can't see coming through like molars) or development and physical growth. Is he drinking enough fluids with wet nappies (not dark yellow urine)? I tried reverting back to soft food textures like mash and she takes few more spoon fulls. For breakfast today she had one teaspoon porridge and 2 bites of apple slices. Then two bites of her baby biscuits. Deffo a change in appetite!

Could have written this myself. I hope it's a phase!!!

Awww sometimes my little girl does this and I just start singing nursery rhymes or make animals sounds and then she will continue to eat! Maybe this might help you out if you try this! It’s worth a try! Xx

Same story here, it’s been almost 2 months of hit and miss meals. She only eats pasta properly, anything else is meltdowns. There have been some better days recently, hoping it will pass 💛

Yes mine has started having meltdowns especially at dinner. I can only put it down to him getting tired, sometimes he wants his water before or he’ll want to feed himself with his own fork/spoon. I’ll leave him to cry and then try again. 3 times and if he’s really not having it then I’ll get him out which is rare and try again a little later x

Yep. Can only get a few spoonfuls of anything down here before she smacks the spoon away from her , it’s quite stressful because she’s gone back to waking in the night for milk and I’m sure it’s because she’s hungry from not eating in the day 🥲 she used to love food and now even her faves she is screaming at me when I try to feed her .. tried giving her the spoon/fork and it goes straight on the floor 😩

Thanks everyone - seems like i’m not the only one! He has quite a few teeth coming through and has been poorly from starting nursery and also I think as others have said that’s a phase! I’m just stressed he isn’t getting enough food but he is still having 3x 8oz bottles a day and I offer him water throughout the day.
