B has been sick all week and as a result he has lost interest in his solids and been taking more bottles. Have others gone through this? It's disappointing to make him a yummy lunch just to have him throw it on the floor. Should I still keep trying to give him solids? Or wait till he's better? LO is 11 months old.

I still tried to offer a couple different solids when she wasnt feeling great but she def preferred nursing.

My DS always loses his appetite when he's sick. He loses about 1 or 2 pounds when sick. Then he gains it back when he gets better. He always prefers his milk and doesn't eat too many solid foods when he's sick.

Yeah my son does this too - when he is sick some days he wants only milk and other days it's only solids. I usually offer stuff like banana, crackers, or soup. He almost always will eat soup when sick. When he's better again he eats like a horse for awhile. Get well soon, B!

Yup, I just keep trying to offer different things. Soup has always been a fail safe.

When my LO was sick with a stomach flu @ 14 or 15 months, he didn't want solids. He just wanted whole milk in a bottle (wouldn't drink out of sippy cup) and applesauce. He liked to be held while eating- I think he found it comforting. Hope your LO gets better soon.
