Hi again, my daughter isn't eating much at all. She says she's not hungry, which I believe to some extent, but she's barely eating.
It started when she was low, depressed and her mental health took a dip and she was hospitalised for weeks. She wasn't eating anything but a little pack of maltesers every few days. She never used to eat much but it was more than now. She has refused dinner tonight, which was pizza. She only had a bacon roll at break and for lunch: crisps, banana and a chocolate bar which is fine but that's it. That is all she is eating a day. If I cook her a dinner, she will barely touch it and doesn't want desert, which she usually wants. She'll eat the veg on her plate and that's about it, great it's veg. She is a cyclist so she needs the energy for it. School says that she has been starting to eat putty/slime she has and been putting things in her mouth. She's done this a few times in the past but only really chewing a ruler. I've bought chew toys but she's chewed through them and destroyed them.
She is getting head aches and a couple weeks ago she was the same and felling light-headed, dizzy and a little faint...
What can I do for her to eat a little more? I've looked on the internet and at the advice and guidance but I can't find anything that will help. Has anyone else been in this situation?
