Newmum, my boy was on a food strike for 3 weeks. When he was 9 half mth old. I still cooked porridge everyday to try though , but only managed to stuff in max 2/3 spoonfuls when I force fed him.
I was stressed up cos he is not even big n heavy to begin wif. He didn't seem hungry either . He still drank milk though, n took some puffs. Other than that, cereal n porridge was out. I would try all ways to feed him, like putting a puff on top of the porridge , mix fruit in it , etc.
Many pple told me not to force feed , but looking at him like that , how to just let him skip meals ? Very worrying I must say ...
Anyway , after nearly a mth , he somehow began eating again. He did lose a bit of weight while on the strike though but he was otherwise happy still.
So perhaps , u may like to wait a while ? Or intro something diff ? That is if u r sure he is not ill . It's just a passing phase , n got to wait it out . I know it's hard .... But bbs do go thru milk or food strike for no apparent reasons .
