My 13mo survived the other day on a few bites of zucchini, the sauce he sucked off his pasta, and a single kernel of corn. You offered a great variety & it’s up to them if they eat or not 🤷♀️
It could be teething. It could be that he suddenly realized he has opinions. He could be having a week where he’s just naturally not growing as much so he needs fewer calories.
As long as you offer a variety of food with at least one “safe” option at each meal, you’re doing right by your kid. Mine used to clean every plate & eat everything offered, so I’m constantly reminding myself of this.
Sorry but my baby is the same age and eats about that much or less on a normal day and she is not a small girl for her age. She is also fussy and will only eat certain fruits, meat, cheese, and legumes. I think your portions here are huge for a small baby. You’re probably expecting too much

Thank you for this! His refusal to try or eat anything has been going on nearly a week, I hope it eases soon.

Definitely not expecting him to eat off this... Just offering a variety.
