Hi mummies , for those whose LOs had hfmd before, when did their appetite come back fully? It has been 9 days and my LO is still not finishing his usual portions of solids, instead he prefers sweet fruits like kiwi, banana and avocado. Do share ur experience with me, thank u! My lO is currently 13 months.

Has it fully recovered? Sometimes they will need a longer time as they will tend to have a fear of eating due to pain. Try offering cold stuffs first let them know it's fully heal. Meanwhile just offer more milk. Slowly their appeitite will return for sure

Oh dear, hope your bub is okay now. Give him sometime to adjust back. Just like us adults, we take time to adjust. Meanwhile if he is eating what he likes, I'll give it to him.

Our little one had hfmd at 5 months. Appetite came back after 6-7 days. Hope your little one feels better soon.
