First of all - and I know this is much easier said than done - don't worry too much, they all seem to go through it
. Babies are good at self regulating and they won't starve themselves (and I will take my own advice one day honest
).
If he is crawling he is probably much too busy to stop and eat. What flow teat is he on, if you are not on a fast flow I would try it to see if he take more if he can get it more quickly. Are you giving finger foods yet? If not try giving him finger foods when you give his puree/ mashed food as it can distract them enough to get a few more spoonfuls in.
Is he sticking to his growth curve? If he is and he has plenty of wet/ dirty nappies then he is probably taking in enough. How many bottles is he on now, it could be that he needs to drop one in order to increase the intake on the others. If you can, post his EASY in terms of
E - what time, how much
A - how long
S - what time, how long for
it maybe that a few tweaks will have him eating a bit better again!
