ive got the same thing with my DS, he was a great eater until about 8 weeks ago, seems like he got to 17 months and decided thats it.. he now wont eat potatos, any meat at all no matter how well hidden or anything like shepherd pies, casseroles etc, which he used to woof down.
he seems to take one look at his plate and if it is not something he wants just shoves it out the way and wont touch it. I have worked out that he will eat things he can pick up, (apart from meat) he was using a spoon and fork well, but again that went out the window at about 17 months.
I am not worried about the amount he eats as he will eat fruit, veg, cheese and bread, but it is just getting me down that I cook all these meals for him and he just pushes them away without even trying. if it is lunch time I just give him his yogurt and leave it, so he realises that he wont get anything else, but in the evenings I dont want him to go to bed hungry as then its only us that suffer when he wakes in the night, so I give in and give him toast or cheese and crackers etc..
so frustrating, I just hope it is a phase, but it has been 2 months now :-(
