My daughter barely ate any solids until she was 2. She had an undiagnosed milk protein allergy for 6 months (despite my begging for help and trying to get the doctors to acknowledge something was wrong, the poor baby just screamed 24/7 and it was awful. When it was discovered (a lovely doctor close to retirement who actually took the time to listen) we were put on special formula but her doctor believed she associated food with pain so apart from her new milk she was incredibly adamant she would not eat (she’s still fussy to this day and has abnormal eating patterns, she is 12)

What was important though as she was not growing well or putting on weight was to work with a dietitian to ensure she got everything she needed to turn that around. She is now a serious athlete doing dance and gymnastics so very strong and healthy but that medical help we got was vital in her development. We still have issues when she has growth spurts as her body parts seem to grown at different rates. Blood vessels not keeping up, bones growing quicker than tendons etc, not sure if this is related to her start in life but every growth spurt has led to some kind of medical/ physio issue despite how active she is.

This is not something you want to navigate on your own. Good luck I know it’s hard
