A. Hi parent She should be given easy to digest food for now. You may give her a spoon of lukewarm water every hour In the day time (don't wake her up though) Don't use RO water Use simply purified water having TDS higher than 350 Don't over feed her , don't force feed her Give her more probiotics and seasonal fruits
