Girls, my son is 1 year and 10 months old. Recently, he has been refusing to eat. It all started when I was hospitalized. He turns his head away, says "no," and pushes away with his hands. When I try to persuade him, he begins to fuss. The doctor saw him because he had a temperature of 37.5°C, but today he was discharged. The doctor said his throat is clear, and during our last visit, he looked healthy—my husband was with him. He drinks compote and water, but he barely drinks cocoa with milk. To prevent him from going hungry, I give him liquid store-bought porridge since he refuses everything else. Even his favorite lollipops and snacks, he refuses now. He used to love cucumbers, but he doesn’t eat them anymore. Has anyone experienced this? What could it be? No matter what I offer, he just doesn’t want it. I’m worried he’ll go to daycare next week hungry if this doesn’t pass. 🤷‍♀️

A child aged 1 year and 10 months refusing to eat may be due to a temporary illness, discomfort, or psychological factors. It's important to rule out physical causes: check their temperature, throat condition, and ear and nasal passages. Offer different types of food without forcing, and observe their reactions. Ensure they stay well-hydrated to prevent dehydration. If the refusal persists for more than 2-3 days, or if there is a significant loss of appetite or symptoms worsening (such as fever, lethargy, vomiting, or diarrhea), please consult a doctor promptly. Do not try to force them to eat; the main goal is to avoid stress and provide comfort.

Are all your teeth coming in now? My son had the same thing with his first molars, but it passed quickly.

Our child started this picky eating phase around this age, and it still hasn't ended. 🙈 He's a little eater. He literally only likes about 5-7 dishes, and that's it! At 1.5 years old, he would eat strawberries and cherries, pulling them out of my mouth. Now, at 2.5 and even at 4.5, he refuses to eat anything! He doesn't even try!

And it's the same with any dish. No, I won't try. I have no idea what to do. We follow all the smart advice we hear. He eats with us, the adults. I put all the food on his plate, thinking he can decide what to eat from it. But no 🤷🏻️. The same at daycare. They try to pressure him and force him, even though I asked them not to, but it doesn't help.

Horozova Yuliya I don't really know, I think that's everything. I never look into his mouth, and I never gave him permission.

Aruzhan We offer a variety of food. Today, I was discharged from the hospital and fed him soup. He even ate a cucumber afterward—knock on wood. He ate well. Previously, my mother visited; he saw her when he was a little one. She can be a bit rough, and he was afraid of her, crying. Later, I was hospitalized, and he stayed with my husband and, of course, with my mother. However, he didn't want to be with her because he was crying and only wanted to be with my husband. It might have been some stress, especially since I wasn't around, and my mother was also there. But earlier, she couldn't leave because she lives in a village and buses run on a schedule. 🤷

Sevastyanova Yuliya Maybe that's why it could be happening.

Horozova Yuliya You were right. A molar is coming in. Today, I felt it with my clean hands. Our teeth have been coming in slowly, and we've had no appetite and some fussiness for quite a while.

Sevastyanova Yuliya Our molar is coming in. Maybe that's also contributing to the discomfort.
