Solids while sick

Jake has a cold and not surprisingly is not that interested in food, other than booby.

We had just progressed to stage 2 food consistency which he is now point blank refusing so have gone back to stage 1 consistency.

He is only eating fruit, about 1 tablespoon in the morning and one in the afternoon. (down from 3 in the morning and 4 in the afternoon).

I know milk is the most important thing and I am not concerned about him not eating as such, but rather how to handle it.

Do I just keep offering him fruit twice a day until he seems interested again, or offer veg once a day and fruit once a day like before or just not bother until he is well again????

He is over the worst, just very congested at the moment so struggling with eating and breathing through his mouth (i think thats why he is preferring the runnier food).

I dont want my concern over his weight gain to be making my decisions for me iygwim.

Yeah I had forgotten about number 3's LOL. Doesnt help that he tends to get diarrhoea with a cold

Thats what I thought, was just bit worried about pushing food on him when he isnt that interested.

Its silly, but sometimes just need confirmation that what your instincts are telling you are right. I really should trust myself more!
