Hello.
I understand your baby is refusing to consume any kind of liquid apart from water. Could you please specify if she is suffering from any other problems too. If not then you don’t have to force any sort of liquids, she will be averse to the idea of food and drinks in no time. Keep food and drink within reach and only feed her when she wants.
Also the little food that she consumes, you can make it calorie rich by adding ghee/butter/jaggery.
Next Steps
Refusal to feed warrants further investigations
