DS won't eat! (14 months) what do I do???

[Ella]

DS is 14 months and the last week he has been off his food totally and waking up several times through the night.

He will have a couple of bites of whatever I'm eating but won't even touch baby custard which he usually loves, I've tried everything...

I'm thinking teeth, but I'm really concerned that he's off his food for this long as he's not exactly chunky at 10.1kg...

What do I do, it's really stressing me out, he seems happy enough, but more whingy at times than he is usually.

TIA

Hi there
I had EXACTLY the same thing happen to me with my son around the same age. He went off all his food and was waking in the night screaming and just whined constantly. Then, about 2-3 weeks later a molar appeared.
I was beside myself as I had no idea what was going on.
We could only feed him pureed food and I was horrified as we had taken a huge step back, but it corrected itself now.
Im not sure if this is it - but Ihope it helps.

Yes it really does help. I just feel so tired and at a loss about how to make him ahppy. DF just called me frm work to discuss why bubba is so upset at home with me and only wants him... because he's just upset, I don't know I don't speak baby!

DD went through the same thing at that age too. She isn't much of an eater to start off with. Hers turned out to be a heap of teeth coming through. Took a little while but she did start eating again on her own

I was going to say teething like the other posters have said as well DS was the same when he was teething

Hope the teeth appear soon and he get's his appetite back again
