i'm starting to get a little worried about katie's eating! she's alway been big, big eater, she'd eat the same size portions as me of everything, but the last week or so, getting food inside her's just been a nightmare!
she wants to feed herself constantly, or have someone else load up her fork for her, but not mummy
my sister's been hving the feed her her tea, cos she wont take the fork off me anymore, and tonight, daddy was round and he had to do the fork loading business cos she wouldnt take it off me!
her normal daily food routine was
breakfast: as much milk as would fit in the bottle. 2 slices of toast/big bowl of cereal
lunch: breadsticks/rice cake, meat of some kind, cucumber or a sandwich and cucumber
tea: huge portion of whatever we'd had the night before, yoghurt, fruit
bedtime: as much milk as fits int he bottle
but now i'm struggling to get 4oz of milk down her, i've swapped from bottles to cups this week, so it oculd be that, but tonight, she had a bottle, cos she was really crabby, and she still only had like 4oz! breakfast i cant get 1/2 slice of toast down her, lunch she'l eat quarter of a sandwich if i'm lucky, and tea's just a nightmare!!
she has always been a really big girl, and she was really active before having her operation, so i knew her eating would get less, but i've been really shocked by how little she's eating!! she is looking thinner, but thats par for the course cos she's losing muscle tone and stuff!
from experience does anyone know if its just a phase, and at what point should i reall start to worry about it? she is generally healthy otherwise, just wont eat!!
