[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 276472, member: 1991"] We went through a stage of difficult child 3 not eating anything at school. I would pack a lunch but he wouldn't eat it until he came home from school. Another possible option (one we did) was cold cooked meat. A chicken drumstick, for example, or cold hamburger patty. I also kept the fridge full of food he would eat, food I would give him as a meal rather than snack food, so whatever he ate as snacks was food he would have otherwise been given for his meals. So if he didn't eat his meals - no worries, it was because he'd already eaten it. He might come home from school and raid the fridge for cold cooked sausages, a boiled egg and a raw carrot. Then have no appatite for dinner - but I didn't care, he'd already eaten the right stuff anyway. When easy child was a toddler, she stopped eating. She still drank from a bottle but wouldn't eat any solids. And would only drink one bottle of formula a day, her first one in the morning. She drank water at other times of the day. I was working full-time and would drive to work with easy child in the car. I would drop her off at the child care centre near work. It was too early before we left for me to give her a bottle of formula, so I gave it to her in the car, she would sit in her car seat and drink it cold. I also took to mixing a raw egg in it, like a sort of formula smoothie, a baby egg nog. Often it was her only meal of the day. And she wouldn't finish it, a lot of the time. The only other times I could get her to eat, was when I was eating my lunch and she would sometimes want to have a taste or steal a bite. But other than a single bite or so, that was it. This lasted from about 13 months to about 18 months or more. She was a real worry. Also on a dairy-free diet at the time. She has gone on to have a weight problem, she began eating at two and hasn't stopped. Marg [/QUOTE]
