15 month old not eating

Please tell me I’m not alone, has anyone’s 15month old stop eating like usual, for about 2 days now my son doesn’t want to eat his breakfast or dinner he might take a few nibbles but that’s it, I am still breastfeeding so I’m hoping that’s helping but I’m kinda worried now, I have to wait until Monday to call his pediatrician but what are yall doing to help your baby eat??? He isn’t sick and he’s still his bubbly energetic self so idk if it’s just a phase or it’s something to be concerned about

He could be teething my boy stopped eating his ground meat and softer foods for 3ish days I just gave him apple slices and chicken wings and he ate that

If it’s teething try teething tamer from earthly it works wonders for my daughter I started giving it when she first got teeth and been doing ever since and she loves it

Same here. She will stop eating and will actually go back to only eating baby food. But as long as she eats something I’m ok with the baby food

Pediatrician told me their calorie requirements go way down at this age. The first year of life they triple their birth weight whereas this year, they don’t gain much weight. She told me they will get their calorie requirements over a 2-3 day period. Keep offering healthy foods but if they refuse to eat or don’t eat much, don’t offer junk food or favorite foods, just put the food away and offer it again in an hour or so. If he’s happy and energetic otherwise during the day, it may not be teething he’s probably just not that hungry.

@Courtney I second this 👌 100% he'll eat when he's hungry. Moms tend to make the mistake of trying to force them to eat what we think is "enough" and that just makes things worse in the long run. Keep letting him take charge and he'll eat the calories he needs

@Sophia exactly! And trying to force them to eat more or “enough” can make it worse and cause a negative association with meal times
