Fusspot at mealtimes ..... doing my head in!!!
Hugo has always been fine with food, eats stage 3 and 4 jars at 12 and a bit months, and our food not blended at all.
For the last 4 - 5 days he is refussing point blank to eat porridge in the morning and the jars that he has at dinner time. We were thinking it might be teeth, or sore throat, BUT he eats food like sandwiches, fruit, snacks all fine!
I have been giving him a spoon to try to eat himself, do you think it is the issue? That he doesn't want ME to feed him?
Though when I give him porridge and he refuses, and then I give the spoon to him, he just throws the spoon away! )he knows both how to scoop up the food and put it in mouth),
When I do get the porridge or jar food in his mouth, he just sits out anything that resembles a lump! (and he is abso fine with lumps .....)
I just dunno what to do!
Ideas?
Thanks, xx

sometimes they just go through 'fussy' stages - my 2 are always at it the little monkeys! if he's eating normally in other areas and drinking properly i wouldn't worry about it but if he's not eating at all then see your hv/dr.
best wishes and good luck!
7 30 am: boob
8 30 - 9 am: sandwich with philly, or eggy bread, some fruit, rasins, a cookie or a few puffs, breadsticks
Midday - PORRIDGE (normal 4 grain or oaty one with full fat cows milk) atm refusing to have this one, so I give a fromage frais and some more fruit
2 30 pm - some snack type of food, ellas kitchen smoothie,
5 pm - a jar (Refusing this one) and a yoghurt and a cookie
7ish - food that we cook for ourselves (depending on what it is, he might eat loads or only a little) and a fruit pot,
9 pm - nighttime boob.
I hope he is eating enough, I just dont know what to give him at porridge and jar time ...
Is there any kind of cereal i could give him? Mix with some yoghurt? And give some cow's milk to drink?
As for the jar food at 5, it is his biggest meal of the day, and he cant wait till 7ish when we eat our food, and I deffo don't have time to c ook a big meal twice ...
Ohhh the toddle years, hope this is just a stage of stubborn boy ...
