BLW Question

meltoine

I'm currently offering DS three meals. We just started lunch this week. He eats great and breakfast and used to eat great at dinner, but the last 2-3 weeks he hasn't eaten a thing at dinner and his sleep in definitely suffering for it. He used to wake once around 1 for a feeding and sleep until 7. Now he's waking at 11:30 and 5. 

Do you have any tricks for getting him interested in dinner again?

Are you sure its the dinner and not teething or something else?  I would push lunch up in time, give him his favorite meals for dinner or just skip lunch all together until he is a little bit older and try again with the three meals.

It's normal for BLW babies to lose and gain interest in meals, based on teething, illness, or just working on milestones. It's not a big deal and he'll probably pick up dinner again soon. Actually, milestones or teething are far more likely causes to suffering sleep than an 8 month BLW baby losing interest in dinner, considering how much food a baby that age would reliably ingest.

He started crawling about 3 weeks ago and he popped out two new teeth last week, so I guess that's part of it too. He added an extra nursing session tonight so maybe he's just adjusting his routine.
