My Baby ate his food today

Yes, My son does the exact same thing. He went on an eating "strike" for about 2-3 days, not eating more than maybe one bite at each meal (if I was lucky) I called the doctor, and he said, just give him as much fluids as you can.. and we'll wait another day.. sure enough the next day I got him to eat and eat and eat!!! Sometimes they just aren't hungry.. or in my son's case, he would rather play than eat! He does it every once in a while.. and I just wait it out.. knowing that when he DOES eat, he'll catch up! GOOD LUCK!

most probably your kid had some flue or common cold or some distention in abdomen so he did not eat and as he recovered he resumed his diet im happy for you

hello there,,I read your thread and i want you to know,that this non eating thing is sooo normal!!!when Skylar turned 2 it started goin downhill lol..he didnt want to eat as much as he did and i would worry all the time ..even though i was told it was i didnt believe them..even though some were doctors lol..but its been 2 yrs..and hes 4 now..and he still goes threw these stages..he will either hardly eat at all..or wont eat enough!and it is normal..and they wont die or starvation..and it wont hurt them..when they are hungry they will eat..if they arent//.they wont..its just that simple..it will be ok!!

I have heard that it is normal for kids, especially at that age, not to always feel hungry when you think that they should be. I know that as a parent it must be so hard not to worry, though! :/ I'm just glad to hear that your son ate his spaghetti, even if he didn't eat all of it! *laugh* I wouldn't worry if he didn't, but I feel relief for you since I know that you must have felt worried until he ate something.

It is fairly normal for a child to goes a few days were they don't eat and then after that they appear to eat you out of house and home. It is part of the growth spurt they go threw. However if he is not acting like his "normal" self then you do need to be concerned. to me it sounds like you have a growth spurt to look forward to

yes i have a 2 year old too. sometimes she loves a food and only wants to eat that, and then a week later she hates it. it is totally normal.growing sperts also contribute to eating habits so dont worrie.

Kids are this age are more in tune with their "full" mechanism than adults. Adults tend to keep eating even though we don't feel hungry. Children will usually stop when they've had enough. Trying to fight with them to get them to eat isn't worth it. In the end it teaches them bad habits.

I'm guessing your baby was sick for those few days that cause a lost of appetite. I remember when I had a high fever, I did not feel hungry at all for 3 or 4 days. I don't know but you might want to get the baby check out.

i do not think so there is a problem you have to take your child to the clinic

my daughter is two and she does the same thing sometimes it is normal for kids to do this they don't starve they just go through times when all they do is pick at there food and thenthey sometimes eat it all as long as your child is gaining weight i would not worry about it.

Is your baby thin? Well my mom still reminds me sometimes of my childhood days. It seems I never use to eat, but when I eat, I do it like no one else:-). It's really funny but a fact. My mom use to take me to the doctor for health checkup everytime as she was worried that I don't eat properly, but the doctors always diagnosed me as normal healthy child. Well, that was my case in my childhood and I just wanted to share with you. But I have a feeling that you should take your baby for checkups regularly as your baby is just 2yrs old. Have a great time with your baby...

altho my son is only 5 months but it also worries me when he wouldn't eat (baby food) but i give him lots of milk so in tha way he wouldn't starve

It's very normal. As kids grow thier bodies know what it needs and what it doesn't. I am sure he was eating just enough to satisfy himself just not you. I panicked the first time my child did that. Even taking her to the Dr. he made me feel better after explaining the same thing to me.

To answer your question....yes, it is VERY normal for children that age to "not feel like eating" sometimes. I have 4 children, and my youngest is 2. I am so used to dealing with children his age, so I don't worry at all if he doesn't have a big appetite sometimes. As long as your baby is growing properly, and is not underweight, you need not worry. His body is going through many changes, and his appetite can be affected by that.

I have a 2 year old daughter..she used to be a great eater as a baby and until she turned about 18 months...she started getting picky with the foods,she would eat and only liked cereal and hot dogs for the longest time...after about a couple of months..she started eating normal again..I think,that it maybe has to do with their taste spuds..they experience different tastes and might like the new foods or not..My little girl,went through,this picky state,for almost 6 mos.I took her to the doctor,he said,that she was fine and she would eat,than hungry..so don't worry too much.

yes i have 4 children and went though it with all of them. They go though growing spurts and times when they feel like they not hungry for it!Glad to hear he's eatting and that mean he'll be growing :)

yeah its normal to think that is there something wrong. we all have to remember baby appetite is lot different that ours so when we think there something wrong because he didnt eat there something wrong. they have an low appetite, if it went like for four days or so then i would really get worried and take him to the doctor. Glad to hear that your baby ate :)

I watch kids at my home and this is just something I think most of them go through at about that age. All of the ones I have taken care of have gone though that stage of not wanting to eat, I've got one going through it right now. The doctor told his mom that he's fine and when he gets hungry that he will let her know. And not to make them eat if they don't want it.

I dont know whether it is normal or not but my almost 3 year old is a picky eater. He only tends to eat just chicken nuggets and waffles and sometimes pizza but other than that you can forget it. He use to eat yogurt but he seem not to even like that anymore. I need to go and get him some vitamins. Sometimes I think I give him too much juice and maybe that fills him up but he still wants what he wants. Like yesterday he would not eat any thing i had in the house until my husband got home from work and bought in a pack of nuggets can you guess the boy eat about 12 of them.

No this is a serius problem because your baby its posible to be sick, I think that you go to a doctor and tell his your problem
