<p>My 10.5 month-old had a cold last week, just started walking, and may be teething again (ie there's a lot going on in his world). When he got the cold last week, he started refusing any food I would give to him with a spoon. He will take his bottles, and will eat a little bit of finger food (puffs/cereal/cheese/bits of meat, but no fruit/veg), so he's not starving, but I'm worried he's not getting enough food. His daycare provider claims he will eat for her, but with me he clamps his mouth shut and blocks the spoon with his hand. So frustrating.</p> <p>I don't know if this is just a phase, or if he's just done with me feeding him (I hope not). Has anyone else experienced this? </p>
