A. If your daughter has not been eating anything for the last 7-8 days but remains fully active, it is not an immediate concern but should not be ignored either. Possible Reasons: Teething – Reduced appetite is common during teething. Hot Weather or Dehydration – Kids may prefer more fluids and less solid food. Routine Changes – Travel, illness, or sleep disturbances can affect appetite. Exploration Phase – At this age, children are more interested in exploring their surroundings than eating. Mild Viral Infection – Sometimes, children eat less even without fever. What You Can Do: ✔️ Offer Hydrating Foods – Buttermilk, yogurt, soups, coconut water, or vegetable broth. ✔️ Small, Frequent Meals – Instead of large portions, give small meals multiple times. ✔️ Make Food Interesting – Use colorful plates and different food shapes. ✔️ Avoid Force-Feeding – Pressuring her may make her more resistant. ✔️ Give Her Favorite Foods – Temporarily offer what she likes the most. If she continues to refuse food for a longer period or shows signs of weakness, consult a pediatrician.
