why wont he eat ?
in Baby
Hi
Tyler is almost 8 months old and its a real struggle to get him to eat, breakfast is fine and he eats all his porridge, lunch and dinner are another matter. I normally give him his lunch when he wakes from his afternoon nap but he refuses it and cries. Now I dont know if he's still full from his bottle before his nap, teething or just the wrong time of day for him. Its the same for dinner, he will only have a rusk with milk for his dinner when I know he should be having a proper meal. I've tried jars, pouches, making my own but nothing works. He's the same in nursery, sometimes he'll have a few spoons, sometimes none, usually has stab at his desert.
Any ideas ? I was thinking of dropping the 11am bottle in the hope that he will be more hungry for his dinner...
help....

We have good days and bad days but generally, unless theyre teething, things are good now. They werent always. We would have days where they would eat nothing. Now they scoff it down.
Would he be better if he fed himself? The boys do both now as they took a long while to build up the hand eye coordination to do it without getting frustrated.
The are 9.5 months but this is our day
6am - Bottle
7am - Porridge with apricot and apple (they LOVE this!)
10am - Snack - normally a banana and a pot of jelly between 2 of them
12pm - Lunch - Meat and Veg (homemade and dont really know how much, just half one of my tubs between them!) and a pot of fruit
4pm - Dinner - Same as lunch but a pot of jelly for afters
6pm - Bottle
We dropped the 3pm bottle last week as they werent drinking the 6pm one and were waking at 4am starving.
HTH a little xx
just to add my wisdom tooth is coming through and it hurts more as the day goes in so I can eat fine in the morning but my dinner is a struggle. Think it's sympathy pains lol! X
Good luck and i hope he starts to tuck in soon!
