Sometimes children stop eating for no reason and recover after sometime.
If your baby is active, passing urine well and body weight is adequate you should wait for 1 week.

Mix mother milk with food also add fine paste of nuts like cashew almonds. Mild flavouring with Cumin powder black pepper powder will increase appetite. Anaemia and mineral deficiency also can decrease the appetite. Reduce the number of breast feed to approximately 5 to 6 per 24 hours in a 10 month old kid. 3 per 24 hours for more than 1 year
