My son is 13 mths old, for awhile it was hard to get him to eat or drink. We have tried entertaining him with toys and was able to get him to eat for awhile along with giving him finger foods. Now he just refuses. He doesn't care to eat, spoon fed or being given finger foods. He only takes sips of milk here and there but not interested in that either. he just wants to play all day. we have tried everything and have tried so hard. anyone gone through this and have an effective solution that worked for you? is it even normal? i see some other children that just love to eat or they at least love to drink their milk. my son is not sick, is happy, but just doesn't care for food or drink and he is dehydrated.

My daughter doesn't eat alot when she's teething...do you think that might be the problem?? If not, I would talk to my doctor. I mean, the older the kids get, it seems you have to chase them around to get them to eat something but if he is getting dehydrated then its become a problem. My daughter is 12 months and she doesnt eat alot but she does drink her milk. I try to get her to eat by trying alot of different foods and seeing if she might actually eat alot of something...Post this on the toddler care forum...you might get more input.
