Dinner refusal

My daughter has been the same the last few days! I’ve had to throw away sooo much food. Things she used to love she will barely touch now, the most I can get her to eat is avocado and cream cheese on toast. I’ve been so worried, but It’s reassuring it isn’t just me.
Are you offering dinner at the same time? Sounds like he’s tired.. maybe bring dinner time early and shift other food times to accommodate this x
Thanks so much! Yeh we are going to shift dinner to a little earlier tomorrow but it’s strange as it’s always been at this time! Great to know we aren’t the only ones. I’m just carrying on as normal for now and hoping it’s a phase 🤷🏻♀️
Yep my LO is the same. The only meal he will eat well is breakfast. Lunch and dinner is a real fight now. Same with @Charlie he’s happy with sweet things like yoghurt or fruit but anything savoury he’s not interested in at all!
My daughter has been like this recently but she's also dropped to 2 naps and I think she just got over tired. The last 2 nights I brought dinner earlier and she was more interested.
Yeh I was tempted to make dinner similar food to breakfast or lunch to test if it’s the kind of food 🤷🏻♀️ Eg make him porridge one night for tea. He’s in a lovely mood and then you pop him in the highchair with a delicious plate of food and he acts like you’ve suggested torture for tea.
My little one has just started to become a little disinterested and "pickier" too. He isn't getting upset but he's playing with food and not really eating it. He seems happy to eat things like yoghurt and fruit if he hasn't eaten much so offered an alternative but less interested in savoury. I'm carrying on offering what we have
