Well, tonight DH and I came to an agreement not to worry about DS's eating...well, not out loud in front of him, lol. I can't help but worry. Today he's eaten even less, about 1/2 slice of peanut butter on toast, about 100ml of milo with soy milk, 1/2 a green apple, 2-3 small plain crackers, a strawberry flavoured freddo, about 1/2 a sausage and a fairly large banana. That's it all day. He's drinking normally though which is the most important thing I guess!
I don't think he's unwell, he doesn't seem to be. He has all his teeth so not teething, poos and wees seem to be ok. He does seem sookier than usual, and is having tanties galore, though that could just be that he's almost 2 1/2y.o!! Nothing has changed recently at home, the same routines every week. It has been really hot here the past week though, so maybe that's it...I don't know. I'm going to start giving him vitamins again just for peace of mind. He had started to eat fairly well and was trying alot of foods on his plate, but has just stopped int he last month or two. But DH and I have decided not to stress at meal times, just offer it, then after 30-45mins or so, take it away. Try to feed him and encourage him a few times, but that's it. If he doesn't eat dinner (same for DD too) then they can have fruit or a carrot or something like that. But nothing that takes too much effort, like watermelon...you have to peel it and chop it and stuff...just simple things like apples or bananas. No more treats after dinner like icecream or yogurt. If they have that it can be a daytime thing.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions and ideas I appreciate it. I do know it's normal for kids to go through such stages. It's just hard not to worry!!
