Hunger Striking Toddler

Jacob had a vomity thingy last wednesday morning, and hasn't eaten normally since.
He is his usual noisy, busy, happy wee self, but is eating very very little. As in today, he has had about 4 tea spoons of yoghurt, half a piklet, one kiwi fruit and about 4 carrot rings and one half potato and some shredded chicken at tea time. Breakfast is a battle, you would think he would be starving by then, but no.

He had 200ml formula before bed, and, since last week, has been waking 3 or 4 hourly DEMANDING a bottle (obviously hungry). I tried holdig out,(around 2.30am) thinking he would have brekkie, but after half an hour, he unleashed the "help I am being murdered" scream that the neigbours commented on the next day...
I know kids won't let themselves starve, but I am almost dying from the exhaustion of the demand bottle feeding, and am a bit worried as well.

Like I said, he has no signs of illness, in fact he is better than he has been in ages, after weeks of chest and ear infections, coupled with a runny nose....

any suggestions greatly accepted...

We went through the same and Ayja took forever to get back to normal. One thing we tried (which you may already do) is giving her a plate that stick to the highchair, with a little bit of everything on it, she tends to eat a bit of everything which makes me feel better. We also have taught her how to feed herself with a spoon - which made it interesting, but has meant she is all excited to feed herself and just keeps shovelling it in.

Plunket nurse has said to me a max of 600 mls a day in bottles at this age, so i know Ayja is probably having too many, but we have cut her down to one first thing in the morning, one before morning and afternoon sleepo and one before bed.. (and one at night when she wakes) but she only would drink 100mls at each.

Paris got to this stage about this age where she knew that she would get a bottle before her morning sleep so wouldn't eat brekkie, knew she would get one before afternoon sleep, so wouldn't eat lunch etc.. I moved her breakfast time until a bit later, made sure that under no circumstances was she to have any bottles after 4 am, by brekkie at about 8 am she was HUNGRY!, she could have her morning bottle AFTER that. Then lunch about 11.30am, and a bottle before afternoon sleep much later. so it cut out an extra bottle and also meant that she would be hungry for her food cos otherwise would have to wait for a bottle till much later..

Ooo just re-read post and you said you are worried. Why not take him back to the doc to get checked out?

P.S. My doc sees me atleast once a week
