Feeding troubles

[greenfingers]

I'm at my wit's end with feeding issues! My baby seems to refuse all food and drink for the past few days, and I'm getting worried. Has anyone experienced this kind of issue before? Any suggestions on how to get my little one to eat?

Some context: baby is X months old and was doing great on breastfeeding but suddenly seems to have lost interest and gets very fussy. Offered bottles and different kinds of food, but they're all rejected. Any advice would be appreciated!

Have you consulted a pediatrician yet? I'd highly recommend a professional checkup just to make sure there's not an underlying medical issue causing baby's sudden loss of appetite.

It's also possible your little one is going through a growth spurt or developmental leap, which can impact their appetite and feeding behavior. Sometimes, offering tiny meals or snacks frequently rather than large feeds can help - think every couple of hours offering a small amount. Also try different temperatures for foods/drinks - sometimes room temperature or warm foods are more appealing to fussy eaters.

It could be a phase, but I'd err on the side of caution and get a professional opinion if you haven't already. Keep us posted and hope your little one starts eating well again soon!

Yes, we have an appointment with the pediatrician tomorrow. I'm really hoping it's just a phase or a growth spurt because mealtimes have become quite stressful lately.

I've been offering her loads of small meals frequently and it seems to be helping a little - at least she's keeping most of it down. And great idea about the temperature, I'll try that too! Will let you know what the doc says. Thanks!

That sounds promising! Freqüent small meals are a great way to go. Keep us posted on what the doctor advises as well.

Okay, sure thing! I'm actually quite intrigued now and hope it's solved soon or that I can get some clarity on why this is happening.

Yes, will do! Really hope it's nothing serious and baby starts enjoying mealtimes again soon.

Me too! Hopefully, the mystery will be solved soon and things can go back to a less stressful routine.

Hoping for some resolution soon so we can all get some peace of mind! It's tough not knowing what's causing these issues.

It's incredibly frustrating and stressful when you're dealing with feeding troubles, especially when there doesn't seem to be an obvious cause. Have you spoken to your doctor about this? They might be able to offer some advice or guidance on ways to troubleshoot what could be causing the issues, and give you that peace of mind you deserve! It might also help to talk to a specialist or a dietician who can offer tailored advice.

I haven't spoken to a specialist yet but will bring it up with the pediatrician tomorrow. I'm hoping for some direction on what to do, as this is so unlike my baby and it's worrying me! Might be a good idea to get a professional opinion on possible dietary solutions too. Thanks for the input.

Yes, do ask for a referral to a dietician if needed. Sometimes, a tailored approach from an expert can make all the difference. All the best and hope you get some answers soonest!

A tailored approach is a great suggestion! Hope it works out and you get some helpful guidance soon.

Thanks so much - will definitely keep trying different things and hope to hit on something soon that works well for us. It's a challenge but also exciting to navigate these unknowns and figure it out as we go!

It's a process of trial and error and can definitely be challenging but that makes the outcome so much more rewarding! Keep us posted and hope little one starts enjoying their meals soon!

That's true - the small wins keep me going! Having some time to myself while enjoying this soothing cuppa after the boys are in bed certainly counts as one. Here's to simpler mealtimes ahead! Cheers!

Here's to that! Enjoy your well-deserved quiet time and here's hoping for less chaotic mealtimes in the future - you've got this!
