My 3 Year 3 Month Son All of a Sudden Hardly Wants Eats Anything

My experience was spread the food you offer out and let them pick what they want. Don't pass judgment (can be gently encouraging) or make an issue of any choices or non-choices. Toss out what is not eaten (or save if okay to use again). They all seem to stop eating around this time and don't really start again until the next growth spurt. They also are beginning to want to make their 'own' choices, voice their own opinions, choose their own bedtime or toilet time. Anotherwords... the first rebellion! (or second, around two for toilet training). If you don't allow space for their feelings (very hard when you are in a hurry and your schedule is being disrupted) you will be opening the door to continual opposition and defiance... Hang Cool!

My daughter still goes through that now and she is 5. Sometimes she is still hungry after every meal and will eat like a bottomless pit and other days she barely eats at all. They make up for it eventually. When she has her days of not eating much i try to make sure what she does eat is good for her like fruit, yogurt, meats, vegi's stuff like that. Hope this helps. Try not to worry so much.

they eat less at 3 yrs old cuz they don't grow as fast as when they were 2. and when there's a spirt he'll eat more.
don't worry at all. we've gone several days of nothing and then one day 13 fish sticks in one sitting LOL. as long as development is in normal range no swet.

My kids did the same thing. It's completly normal. You could provide healthy choices, buffet style on the table, set out plates, and then dish up your own food. A child is not going to starve himself and at this time he wants to make his own choices. Let him pick what he wants to eat.

That is and age thing. My son will be 4 in 2 wks and he still does it. You said he has become pickier, we do this at our house. I make one meal and my soon to be 4 year old gets a little of everything the rule is even if he doesnt like it he has to have two bits before he is all done. Try this and I promise it will get him back on track with the pickiness. The not eating he will grow out of and I promise he wont go hungry. Just offer good health food and he will come around.
