   Lycan hasn't been eating properly for the last 3 days.  He has breakfast, lunch and then he's not interested in dinner.  He's still drinking (BM) and has wet/dirty nappies...Is it normal for kids to go off their food and should i be worried???
 Oh and a couple of nights he as fallen to sleep without having dinner or BM, but he woke up during the night really hungry and i just gave him BM.....so again should i be concerned????Or is this just a stage they go through????????

   Yeah still does this...and she is 11mths old...they do say that babies and kiddies wont starve themselves...and some days they dont want much and other days they eat non stop.
 as long as he is still drinking plenty and having wet and sh*tty nappies i wouldnt be too worried

   I agree, if he's drinking heaps and has wet nappies, then I wouldn't be too concerned.  My only other suggestion is to look at the hours between his meals, maybe he's full???

   They still do it at aged nearly 3     . They do go through stages of eating only when they want to eat. So long as the output is still normal for him don't worry too much.

   He might have just had a growth spurt and now this is back to "normal" so he's not feeling all that hungry?
 Hannah and Briona still prefer a big meal at breakfast and not so much for dinner... but for Briona it's all over the place and no guesses as to whether she's gonna eat a lot at dinner or just pick at it.
 
 So long as the nappies are fine and he's happy, I'd say he's eating enough but just at funny times.

   Deez ... Amelia is a little the same, only a different pattern - won't eat breakfast, has a smallish lunch and last night had a HUGE dinner.
I figure if she's happy and the nappies are still coming in normal quantities, there's not a lot I can do and as everyone has said, they won't starve themselves.
