Why does my son's food/milk intake drop to 1/3 of usual at his grandparents' place?

Parenting Asked by user39206 on December 14, 2021

Every week we stay over at my parents’ place for three nights and for some reason my one-year-old son’s food and milk intake drops to 1/3 of his usual. We use the same bottles, same milk powder, same food prep, same schedule in the day but for some reason, he refuses to eat nor drink. We thought of so many possibilities but can’t get around one issue. He is a dream feeder and even when he is sleeping he refuses to drink. However, the moment we go back home he chugs down his milk and eats as he has been in starvation.

He loves to eat and drinks a decent amount otherwise, we just can’t figure this one out. It’s been two months now, can anyone can help?

Obviously very hard to pinpoint the problem without being there to run some tests, but I had a thought. If you're using tap water to make the bottle and his grandparents live in a different neighborhood than you do, it's possible that the water tastes different there and maybe even hurts his stomach. Even though you add milk powder, the different taste of the water can still be noticeable. Try to make the bottle using spring water or water from your own home and see if it makes the difference. Good luck!

It seems like a change of environment, kids' diet and habits are impacted by surrounding. It could be temperature, number of people, other food options, noise, or lights. You need to simulate his actions and find out what he might like to eat otherwise. It should be his sleep due to a change in bed too that can impact his diet.

Hope this helps.
