Not eating solid food

My boy is turning 15 months in a few days, for the past 1 month, he suddenly stop wanting to eat solid food. He use to be able to finish a bowl of Porridge, now he does not even want to have it after 2 to 3 spoons. We tried putting other solid food for him to pick and eat. He is also not interested. Me and my wife are so stressed up. Worry that he is taking in sufficient nutrients. Any advise or expert that we can consult to see if there is any problem. Greatly appreciate any advise.

It is so stressful when they suddenly refuse food like that, and you and your wife are definitely not alone in going through this. Around this age, some toddlers do go through a phase where their appetite drops and they become pickier, so it does not always mean something is wrong. That said, since it has been going on for a whole month and you are worried about his nutrition, it would really be good to bring him to your PD just to rule out anything and get proper guidance. The PD can also check his growth and weight to give you both more peace of mind.
