Should I be concerned that Harrison doesn’t eat much food? I do a mixture of blw and traditional weaning. He’s doesn’t like his hands being dirty so blw is hard😩 Most of the time I spoon feed him but he’s never really all that interested🤷🏻♀️ He won’t drink water or juice either. He still prefers his milk and has 4-5 bottles a day still. His weight is fine and his health is fine too. He is constantly constipated so the doctor has him on laxative everyday. Has anyone else’s little ones been like this? Will he drop bottles and eat more food in his own time?
I wouldn't be concerned. Theo is only now becoming interested in food, he literally had no desire to eat solids before 18 months, I had to sort of bribe him to eat 😂 only now does he prefer food over milk and he still has days where he'll take milk over food. He won't starve himself, if he is hungry then he'll eat :) x
That makes me feel a lot better then🤗 I feel like I have to bribe Harrison too! The only thing he ever wants is toast and a yogurt and that’s about it🤷🏻♀️
@kathleenc this is literally what Theo is like... Or pasta 😂 he's still very into bland tasting food 🤔
Could be teething but have you tried giving him loaded spoons? This can help with children with sensory issues or just doesnt like being dirty x
Is he teething? It puts them off food 😩 if hes gaining weight then me personally wouldn't worry. Every child is different and if he is constipated that also makes me not want to eat. I suffer terrible with ibs sorry 😂 but there will be weeks wer i dont want food n then eat like a pig 😂 mention it to your hv if your concerned though i also think we all think they need more than they do but that's just my option and if hes drinking plenty of milk he will be getting his water still from that n feeling full🤗 xx
He’s been like this since we started weaning so I don’t know if it’s his teeth. We can’t figure out why he’s always constipated either🤷🏻♀️ He’ll maybe have 1 or 2 days a week when I’ll get 3 meals into him but most meals end up in the bin😩 He’s not a big baby so maybe he just doesn’t need as much. When I see some other babies eating they’re having meals like I would😂 But I suppose they’re bigger than Harrison. Most people don’t believe he’s 1😂
My son is the same! He only just now started showing some interest. Loves yoghurt and his milk!
