    A solids question

    Ever since he turned 14 months old, Master W hasn't wanted to eat as much as he used to. He went from eating 3 tins a food and whatever we were eating to only eating when we give him something (which we do for 3 meals) (He's 4 days away from being 15 months old)

    DH worried bout him not eating, and I've been told that between 14 and 18 months they go through a 'grazing' period where they won't eat much.. Heck, we went to a Borders today and I found 'What to expect from toddler years' and found 'Feeding problems' and read it out to him and it reassured me, but didn't reassure him.

    Basically, what I'm asking, is did you kidlets go through something similar? If so, when did they stop and start eating normally again? If not, what would you recommend I do?
    TIA! x

    Um both my kids probably became fussier around 14ish months? DS is still fussy and so is DD1 so they haven't grown out of it yet.

    DD2 still eats heaps though, she loves her food. I can't help you with the amounts though cos I've not given them tinned food and can't picture how much is in there - like - in comparison to what I put on their plate yeah?

    Well, I used to give it to him (the tins) when I was working heaps (still am, but nowerdays if I'm working morning shift I'll fix up stuff for the next day that night).
    In a tin, it's probably the same amount as a full apple I think (I'm not too sure tbh)
