Hi,ds2 hasn't been eating properly for about a week! he is picking at food or not eating anything, hes drinking plenty seems fine in himself but also has been sick a few times. should i ring the health visitor or do you think it could be a bug? i know there is a bit going round at the minute. TIA

There have been loads of bugs, colds, viruses going around.
Ds was off his food for a fortnight and went a bit quiet (which was actually quite nice) and is now back to normal. He liked soup when he was getting better. Hope yours gets better soon.

dd2 was exactly the same in mid December. It lasted about 10 days, maybe 2 weeks at the most, and the eating better has been slow to improve (but she has ENT issues which don't help!).
