have posted before when ds3 was 8 months and 11 months. it is getting desperate, i am so tired and he is so hungry all the time. having tried all healthy options - pureed carrots, potato, apple, finger foods etc. we did have a bit of success with ice-cream but the most he has ever eaten is a spoonful. he is happy to play with food and try and put it in our mouths but clamps down when we try and feed him. he got chickenpox and we had to give him antibiotics with a dropper which seems to imply the 'weaning window' didn't happen. we have a health visitor visit once a week trying to feed him with very little success. as soon as he hears my voice or sees me he wants milk. i think the only option is for him to go to parents for weekend or me go away for weekend to see if he can start eating properly. had his mouth and throat checked and no problems. he just can't seem to get over this bridge.i would continue but i have 2 older boys who need me and i'm always so tired. we are waiting to see speech therapist. he won't take any cups and the only thing he is happy to put in his mouth is his hand or the nipple. this is now happening when he is tired or teething or upset aswell as hungry so i am getting sore aswell.
any advice please?
