He did only get fussy when they offered him food/milk and was fine otherwise - enjoyed having stories read to him and went to sleep ok. I forgot to mention that he'd taken food from these same peoople previously but that was maybe 3 months ago and he has obviously developed some independence since then. We'll have to see what happens next time.... Thanks to both of you for your input.

If he still won't take it, it may be his way of showing independence and dislike that mom and dad aren't there. If he takes it, it could be he had a tummy ache and didn't want food. If he only got fussy when the food was offered I would think that might be it. Did he go to sleep without problem/ let them rock or hold him? Maybe try again and see how he responds.

I know that may sound wierd, but my daughter is going through this at the moment, but almost on the opposite from what you experienced. She wont eat for me but if someone else asks her she'll do it. I think she's testing me, or maybe he was cross with you for going out and made you aware of this by not eating his tea? I think all babies and toddlers will try most things once.
