14 month old that won't eat or sleep

Hello!

Can anyone help? My 14 month old lil boy won’t eat or sleep… He has gone off everything for the past 2months will only eat snack foods… Even his favourite things like toast… Porridge anything? And he is waking in the night at between 1 n 3am hysterical and I end up giving him a bottle then every morning were downstairs awake at 4-5am? Help Do you have any suggestions for a 14 month old that won’t eat or sleep?

I am in the same position. It can get very tiring. I have to give a bottle before bed and he will only sleep with me and hubby. He always wakes screaming and most times cannot be consoled. Hes gone off food he will only snack and gone off his favs like pasta and chicken breast. All i do is cook different things all day not sure what to do.

At 14 months they really are still only into finger food usually and if not eating enough a bottle is probably needed during the night because they are hungry. Maybe try a bottle before bed and keep it to finger foods. It may also be time to try some new foods as your child could be getting board with the old toast and porridge?!

Hope he get better now and you can talk to your local baby clinic about that. They can give you great advice.

My son did this at about the same age and it was a lingering ear infection…

It is so hard when they go through different stages/phases – hopefully was just a phase
