Lionel, for the last couple of days, has been leaving his breakfast untouched.

Now I just wanted opinions really......he has his food mixed with water for both breakfast and dinner (eats his dinner happily), do you think this means he doesnt like the water on his breakfast anymore? I dont really want to stop the water because the toad keeps spilling his water bowl, so the water on his food is the only proper drink he will have.

OR do you think it means the he feels ready to drop down to two meals a day. He has a large chicken leg for his lunch, and two meals of Autarky per day at the mo.

He is perfectly well in himself so I dont think he is ill....he's his normal self and scoffs all other meals and treats in seconds!

Just wanted to know what you all thought!

What age is he?
I had Leo on 2 meals from about 5/6 months old.

Lionel is just over 7months......I was recommended to keep him on three meals a day until a year old if possible.

Can't really advise Mel as Joey loves his meals!

But we did change him over to 2 meals at 6 months, with 2 kongs inbetween in the day.

I seem to remeber someone on here saying that they will just skip a meal of their own accord when they are ready....so I assume thats what he wants!

Hi Mel,

Tilly self weaned herself off the midday meal..... Rolling Eyes doing excetly what Lionel is doing, she was about 6 /7 months and just really couldn't be bothered to eat her lunch at all.

Bless them!

I'm sure that if I fed Joey a sack of Burns every hour he'd still beg for more! Laughing
