I am concerned about my son. He has been in daycare since he was 3 months old he is now 2 1/2. Last week he had a virus that gave him a fever. I stayed home with him one of the days and took him to the doctor. All last week he did not eat or drink anything at daycare. He would however eat when we got home. I just thought it was because he wasn't feeling 100%. Well this weekend he ate breakfast, lunch and dinner just fine... no problems. So I thought today he would have eaten at school, when I picked him up they told me he would not eat or drink anything again today. I am really worried and not sure what to do? I am hoping it is just phase. I asked them if there had been any changes in his room, he does have one new teacher. I am not sure if this has anything to do with it. I am also pregnant and starting to really show... I was thinking of going in and volunteering one day this week if he doesn't start eating. I am not sure that will help anything. There are so many things that could be going on. Any opinions or suggesgestions are welcome!!!
On the other hand your little guy is just as special as every other child and think in their own way. He may be connecting him getting sick to school food somehow?
what is upsetting me is 1. He has gone there all this time with no trouble. 2. He eats with you fine.
My son won't eat as much at school as he will here, but not drinking either "weird"
If I were you I would go and WATCH HIS CLASS! Or show up at LUNCH and see if he will eat with you there. If HE DOES..I would pull him out of the day care ASAP!
Can you give more facts? how long has this been going on? Are there any other issues with school? Is he a picky eater? was this a ALL of a sudden thing or has it been gong on slowly? was it right after the new teacher came?
