Haha, kids are so funny sometimes. You just wonder what they're thinking.

My daughter who is now 11 has never been interested in food. All i can say is children appear to be able to exist on next to nothing. My daughter now weights only 3 stone but she has loads of energy and is never ill so i have given up worrying about it. Don't worry as long as he is healthy.

I reckon the trouble comes in when they survive on 'next to' nothing - ie, when you put a perfectly good meal in front of them and they pick out the meat and leave the rest. That's not ok.

You don't gotta eat but what you do eat has gotta be good. Oh, and don't waste food.

I couldn't agree with you more

Default Re: He Just Wont Eat!

My daughter does have medical reasons why she can't eat much. But at the end of the day she manages fine. It is more of a problem for other people. I have had one school force feeding her and making her sick because although they were aware of her problems they thought she was "attention seeking" so took it upon themselves to "make" her eat. She would not eat at all for weeks after that and i changed her school. A dietation once told me is does not matter what you eat(biscuits instead of meet etc) as long as you are eating something. To my daughter 2 chicken nuggets and 10 chips is a big meal and it takes her forever to eat it.

Default Re: He Just Wont Eat!

I wanted to update again. Eli is eating GREAT. It turns out, as I've observed, the formula was actually the problem. Since it has all the nutrition as a full meal, why would he have the urge to eat food when he knows he has formula that does the same thing and he's used to it? Now that he's been drinking only milk for the last few days, he's been eating more and more and more. It's really a drastic turn around. I still give him a bottle of formula right before bed just to be safe, and also to make sure he's held over for the night with nutrition, but other than that he only gets milk. He's been eating quite a bit during every meal, and snacking in between every now and again too. I'm going to start him on the cup tomorrow, all but one bottle at night. I'll probably stop the night bottle maybe in a week or two. I don't expect a big fight by the looks of it, but you never know so wish me luck!

You could puree (sp?) it and mix it into spaghetti sauce or something lol. If you're concerned about her getting what she needs I mean. Getting her to eat it... maybe it needs more flavor? I'm not too sure.

She'll chew it up but she spits it out. It's disgusting when we go out. LOL.

Won't??

Well at first I thought "You should count your lucky stars - my kids, that's ALL they'll eat" - but then I thought that's a bit weird.

Is it too salty or something? What about mince in spaghetti sauce?
