hi all,

i have a 15 month old son.for the last 15 days he is refusing to eat anything.i am really worried.earlier i used to give him gerber+home made food.When he turned one then i slowly stopped gerber & started home made food completely & he enjoyed that.but now suddenly he
stopped eating anything.He doesn't want to drink milk also.yesterday i baught some gerber food for him & he want to eat that.I was really surprised.He might get bored with home made food.
But i am worried for him because he is underweight.i want to give him fresh & healthy food .Is gerber food good for him at this age??
should i give gerber food ??i don't understand what to do.pls help me .
thanks Hetal replied. one of the reasons, could be spices in homemade food. and other reasons is teething..
gerber has min spices that they use for baby food and they have wonderful toddler foods available too. there have been babies who have had gerber upto 2 years..its all on babies preferences,,they keep changing. not at all times babies like spices in homemade foods..sometimes they need a saints food ! my dd is a picky eater, and having a tasty tongue eversince she was on solids..but when she was teething for her front upper teeths, guess what, she ate boiled vegies without salt ! when i started solids, she would vomit all foods without salt,or someother seasonings,,she will just not take it ! but she is right now eating it...its funny though it sounds...but yes they do that !
at 15 monhts, toddlerr would somewhere near to teething for molars..the toughest time to deal when it comes to teething ! check on that !,,,
its not always teething also,,also hot climate makes alot of difference in their apetite..some babies have shown decrease of apetite in summers or monsoons,
try offering abit lukewarm next to cool food then lukewarm food..even though AC is onn in your house,outer temperature is always felt to human bodies.including babies..try offering foods with lukewarm but a slightly cool food,c if he likes that...
now about underweight,,is it that dr said that he is underweight ? if so,m sure he must have recommended some extra calorie diet like banana, cheese, apricots,eggs,or meat and many other listed foods that provide high calorie.
check for gerber dot com for other toddler ideas,,they have nice plans for all ages.
and after all dont prolong his fast longer,,ask your dr about it...never take chances when it comesto babies,,,because they cant express and you dont know whats going on...
take care, good luck
