DS Will Not Eat Jar Food Anymore

Before DS wound up with a double ear infection on Friday, he used to eat a whole bowl of cereal for breakfast, a jar of fruit for lunch and a jar of veggies or meats for dinner. He also had bottles with the jars and in between. Ever since he got sick, he only eats his cereal in the morning and only wants his bottle all the other times. The ped said that he is not worried as long as he was drinking something (formula or juice). Do you think he not eating has anything to do with his ears?

Why don't you try giving him cereal with some veggies for lunch? For every meal, Michael was given cereal with the jarred fruit/veggies/meat, because he gagged if I gave it to him alone.

If he still doesn't want it, I wouldn't be too concerned... he probably doesn't completely have his appetite back. When MY Michael was sick, he barely ate for almost 2 weeks... I didn't force it, he wasn't up to it...

Thanks Lauren. My Michael loves his cereal by itself. DS tried mixing veggies with fruit yesterday for lunch and he would not take it. For lunch today, he tried giving him vanilla custard (which he loves) but he only wants to take the bottle. I am thinking since he is still on amoxocillan (not even a week) that is why his appetite is off.

I was going to ask if he was still on his antibiotics, because it was the whole 10 days that Michael was on it, that his appetite was off!

DD recently had a cold and was teething and refused just about all solid food for 3 weeks. Her ped wasn't concerned either.
