Hi,
DS has a great apetite and has always been really easy to feed, up to a week ago he was eating 3 meals a day and we couldn't get enough in him. He had breaskfast followed by a bottle, then lunch at 11 if we could hold him off that long, with just water, a bottle and snack mid arvo and then dinner and big bottle before bed. We arrived back from the UK a week ago and he is just not bothered at all, will not be fed, so I have tried finger food but he has two bites and then messes around. Just when I am about to give up he seems to open his mouth again like he wants feeding but then takes a tiny bite. HELP - he is still drinking his 3 bottles ok and is not starving but I don't see how he isn't as he has gone from eating loads to a couple of mouthfuls, I have tried old favorites and new things, lumpy things, smooth things you name it, but not keen. is this a phase or his age? Or something else -------------

| Dont' stress too much and just keep offering and don't make a big deal of it, if hes hungry he will eat. |

Ok that helps, I am trying not to make a big deal of it, but its such a turn around.
Should I keep offering spoon fed food, or just stick with finger foods, do they make the change totally? -------------

| I'd offer spoon, if he doesn't want it then give finger foods, that's what we always did |

Ok, so a succesful meal time, and again its cheesy veg that did it, it seems anything with cheese is a hit, anything without is not 
But I suppose the fact he ate a whole bowl of brocolli, cauliflower, peas and sweetcorn is the main thing. Babies are a little mystery. -------------
