My child doesn’t eat anything: what can I do?

When I was little I ate terribly, my mother suffered with me what is not written… 🙁 And now that I am a mother of three, I pity her because I understand how bad it is when your child doesn’t try anything. But I am clear that I don’t want to eat anything either. that the moment of eating becomes suffering for them, as I remember… It was time to eat and I got stressed because I knew it would end in screams from my poor desperate mother.
My eldest daughter is 6, and my youngest is 2, I am infinitely lucky, they eat and try everything… And in their case it seems super valid when they decide that they don’t like something… but first they try it…
But the medium of 5… just milk… almost nothing else… didn’t taste anything at all. I try not to get overwhelmed, I know he is healthy, because the pediatrician tells me so… But I consider part of his education to learn and dare to try new things.
I decided to do the opposite of what my mother did, and make trying things fun and challenging.
And the truth is that at least I don’t know if it’s because of the novelty, but I’ve gotten him to try green beans and chickpeas… I feel like I’ve won the World Cup.
Much encouragement moms, don’t stress above all

Hello, I need help, my daughter is 2 years old and she doesn’t want to eat me anything. She only drinks milk and water. I practically don’t know what to do to get her to eat. She cries a lot when I give her her food. She throws it at me and wipes her tongue.

Hello, my son is almost 3 years old and does not want to eat anything other than milk, bread, Milanese. He doesn’t like anything else.. he doesn’t want to eat anything else.
You give him something else to try and he spits it out.

Mine is the same but now he tells me that he is hungry, very hungry but he doesn’t want food for me. Just cookies. He spits his food at me. He doesn’t let me sleep, he wakes up every now and then and says he’s very hungry. I cook it for him, I bring it to him and he spits it out and says milk. I do not know what to do

Hello, the same thing happens to me. I’m frustrated! Even if he is creative, he leaves everything. He only likes things that lack moisture such as tortillas, bread, cookies. Smoothies nothing more

Good afternoon, as a mother of a 10-year-old girl, it is worrying that my daughter doesn’t want to eat anything solid. We are with her at the clinic and they have already done all the tests and they are doing great, but I don’t understand why she doesn’t eat. I’m worried. She doesn’t want to eat. No chewing, just drink liquid but very little, please, I ask for your help, thank you.

Could you have done something… I have a 7-year-old daughter and she hasn’t eaten for a long time, but this last month she hasn’t eaten anything… only milk

Good afternoon, my 2 and a half year old son does not want to eat since he has been at the same weight since he has not gained weight but I offer him all kinds of foods and he does not want anything, he cries every time I offer him fresh food and he asks for milk and you are full of milk. All day long, I very rarely eat gelatin or a sweet cookie, but nothing else I do makes this very painful.

My son is 3 and a half years old and does not accept anything that is not ground, he only eats Gerber and cereal in porridge, milk, gelatin and sometimes yogurt. If he feels a piece in his mouth that is not ground, he goes into crisis and makes a huge drama saying that he is going to choke, and the times we have tried to force feed him food he has vomited it all up. I’m desperate, I don’t know what to do anymore ☹️

My six and a half year old daughter has a loss of appetite. She measures 1.10 centimeters. I tried stopping demanding that she eat three months ago and she lost weight, she weighed 15.5 kilos. So that’s why I pressured her again to eat and now she weighs 17.5 kilos. It seems to me that if she is gaining weight with pressure she should continue with it. What do you recommend please?

My two-year-old girl doesn’t want to eat and even cries because she doesn’t eat. She just wants to be drinking milk and I took her to the doctor and they found her malnourished because she doesn’t eat the foods that nourish her. She doesn’t eat meat, eggs or vegetables… please help me, I can’t find what to do.

Try a chocolate pedicure to help your appetite. They sell it in pharmacies and on Amazon.

My 7-year-old daughter is not a big eater, but now she spends half an hour with food in her mouth and doesn’t swallow it. She doesn’t eat anything in the afternoon. She’s very sad and starts crying. She says she doesn’t know what’s wrong with her. I have mentioned it to the pediatrician and he has told me that he will refer her to a psychologist because he thinks she has anxiety. I would like you to give me your opinion, thank you.

hello
I have a problem and I know other mothers with the same problem. My son is already 5 years old and he doesn’t eat any type of meat. It seems like he has always been disgusted by food. I feel frustrated because I have another son and he eats everything. I don’t understand. What could happen? I’m afraid that he never eats, he only likes soups and some foods, very few things, really.

Hello, good afternoon, my son is 10 years old and although I have put the advice into practice, it does not work for everyone, if I give him little food it is perfect for him, the specialist tells me that he should eat 3 times the amount of what he is consuming, to He likes to prepare dishes, he always goes to the supermarket with me and chooses his foods that are low in sugar and fat and he loves fruit, he doesn’t like meat, and he is very special because he likes unmixed food, just water and salt, that is soup with only salt, steamed vegetables, chopped fruit without anything else, I don’t eat that badly but I eat everything, he helps me cook but he doesn’t agree to try anything, he can go days without eating food as long as he doesn’t like it If I don’t feed him, he usually doesn’t ask me, I give him medicine to stimulate his appetite and it doesn’t work well, I’m tired, the doctor told me not to indulge him and make him eat meat, but he vomits, he’s missing weight and height. I can’t camouflage them either because he analyzes the food, and he also likes each food to be separated and almost natural, it takes him an hour and a half to eat. And if I have forced him when my patience runs out and he still doesn’t eat. If he wants to see his friends or go to a piñata, I know he will be fasting. And if he worries me.
