Loss of appetite in 2yo
Hi mamas,
My almost 2 year old has lost his appetite and hasn't had a proper meal in about 4 days. Is this normal when the molars are coming out? He has all his other teeth and I don't recall him losing his appetite to this degree. Hes not showing any signs of being unwell but does cry easily when he wants something etc.
Did any of you notice this in your toddlers? I'm not sure how I can get him to eat like he used to. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
My toddler did the same. She was happy, but fragile. She also didnt eat much. And would say ouch. I used ibuprofen to help the swelling with her molars and gave her homemade coconut cream and mango ice blocks. Eggs. Smoothies. Noodles. And she wanted lots of milk and cold Berries. Like the frozen organic ones to snack on. so i just went with it and then her appetite came back. They also have tiny tummies. I didnt give anything salty like vegemite on toast, the salt seemed to irritate her mouth. I also learnt childrens nutrition is looked at over a week so i stopped freaking out that she wasnt having greens & protein everyday. Our nutrition is looked at daily. Interesting!
