Ideas that can help you
Don’t be surprised if your loved one’s
tastes change from day to day. There may be days
when they will not want a usual favourite or say it
tastes bad now.
Keep foods including snacks within
easy reach to help your loved one eat quickly when
they are ready to have something to eat.
Offering gentle support will be much
more helpful than pushing your loved one to eat.
Suggest they try small frequent meals when he or she
has no appetite.
Do not make eating a battle, talking
with your loved one about ways to manage eating
problems together will help you both feel more in
control.
