#AskTheExpert Hi Doctor, My daughter is 18 months old and she has problems with eating. we tried to give her many varieties but still she isn't eating. From last one week she hardly ate anything and has now lost weight. She is now around 9 kgs. Please could you help us with this problem.

A. hi dear While picky eating is a normal phase for most toddlers, there's definitely a time and place to call the doctor. Your pediatrician can rule out or diagnose possible underlying causes for your little one not eating, such as gastrointestinal disorders, swallowing problems, constipation, food sensitivities, or autism.
