Meal refusal.

Anyone’s else’s 12.5mth old refusing any food that’s put to them no matter texture? We do BLW usually. For reference he’s only drinking 5-10oz milk a day so clearly not filling up on milk.

Yes, I’ve googled and researched and apparently there’s a 1 year old food strike that can happen. My lg started spitting out absolutely everything including her favorite foods. Albeit she’s also teething but is now 13 months and has finally started accepting foods again

@Erin Webster oh good. Atleast it’s an actual thing and not just an insult to my cooking! Hopefully mines starts eating again soon 😭

I had just started getting really into cooking her food and felt so insulted until I found out it was a food strike😂

I could have wrote this! My LG has decided on not eating her dinners. But I put it down to new textures. As we used jars until 12 months. But I give her Mac and cheese at lunch time and she scoffs it but at dinner time won’t touch it. I feel so deflated as anything I try with her she won’t eat. She was liking potato letter for a few days but now won’t eat them. Am not a cooking person so am not adventurous with it so it basic foods. I glad it’s not just my bad cooking that’s the problem 😂 x

@Zoe it’s so stressful and deflating isn’t it. Ours isn’t sleeping properly cause he’s not eating enough aswell so he’s constantly furious 😂 Mines loves mac n cheese too, we have allergies so quite selective what he can eat so I’ve had to cook everything from scratch, so I just bought a cook book winged it and now confident enough without. Some very easy meals I find if your LG is just going to BLW is crumpet pizzas, mac n cheese, sausage and beans, veggie tots, veggie pancakes, homemade soup. All pretty much what they say on the title and my boy tanks them… well normally when he’s not on a pay strike 🥴 Hopefully business resumes as normal for us all to get a good nights sleep 😂

My LG has a milk allergy so it’s just amending what she has to us. She is not liking my Mac and cheese at the moment 😂. I have tried fish fingers, veg fingers, home de pizza, letters , vegetables. She dose like a baked potato with beans or cheese or tuna, toast and butter all things that a mashed up sort of thing. But real food at the moment is a no go! Hopefully back to normal al for everyone! A nights sleep what is that. Haha. My Lg don’t sleep through the night yet. X
