My poor little Knight has not gotten his appetite back after this darn thing. I have tried tempting him with 7-Up, cookies, juice of any kind, and even a
My Knight has had tummy issues from the day he was born. He used to spit up after almost every feeding when he was a baby. Every burp would be followed by an URP and milk would shoot out of his little mouth. This all went away after we switched him from formula to milk when he turned a year old.
He still is not a good eater though. He has his days when he dives right in but more often than not, meal times are negotiation periods.
"If you eat 3 bites, you can have a brownie."
"Don't you want to get to 40 pounds so you can have a big-kid-car-seat? Eat up so you can grow big and strong."
"Daddy is going to eat your supper if you don't eat it quick!!" (This one tends to work the best!)
"If you don't eat we are going to have to go talk with Dr. G. Remember he told you to eat more at your last well check?"
My little Knight's 5 year well-check is coming up here pretty soon. DadOf4 is going with me and we are going to see if we can get to the bottom of this. We suspect reflux of some kind. We have been giving him "little tummies" antacid and that seems to help.
This is just on my mind this morning. Does anyone else out there have a picky 4-year-old who doesn't want to eat? Do you have any tempting treats that work for you?

Poor little guy!! Hope both of your kiddos are back to normal soon.
Poor Knight!! The "Hey don't eat MY bite of food" thing still works to get both my kiddos to eat usually. Sometimes we bribe with dessert, but usually not. They are required to have a certain number of bites of whatever we are having for dinner (unless it is too spicy).
I am guessing he didn't feel like eating much yesterday because his tummy was still not feeling right.
