solids boycott after being sick

My DS was sick this weekend and just started feeling better yesterday into today. He had the hand/foot virus, which I know affects their mouth. He has been sucking down his bottles but dosent seem to want his solids. He always loved his solids and would eat 3 times a day. I am not overally worried, I am just hoping he resumes to it soon. Has this ever happened to your LO and if so, did they eventually go back to their previous appetite?

Re: solids boycott after being sick

  • My son did this when he had a bad cold/teething (it was awful having both at once! no sleep for us!) and for a couple days later. But he was back to his normal routine within a week after being sick. It was just frustrating because I kept worrying he wasn't getting enough to eat.

    Normal, plus the bottle really should still be his main source of nutrition.

     

    Yes, I agree about the bottle. I was just curious because he usually a great eater. Thanks!

  • My LO did this and it lasted several weeks.  Absolute refusal to even open her mouth.  All of a sudden she just went back to eating about a week ago.
