Loss of appetite
My 15 months old daughter refusing to eat her food since 3 weeks. She weighs just 8 kgs now. She lost 1.5 kgs in these 2-3 weeks. I tried with different recipes but she is not at all interested in food. She drinks 500 ml milk daily. We tried reducing the milk intake but of no use. She has regular bowel movement. Please help me. I am really worried about her.
