A. check if your child is teething as during teething there is a loss of appetite. do jot force feed in case that is the reason. you can check the lower front teeth as for most kids these are the first to erupt

A. Hi Maybe your child is having its teeth which is why this is happening it’s a very common thing for a child to have a loss of appetite when the teeth are happening so it would be one of the common reasons that I can think of still if you feel that your child is not taking any feed then you should consult your doctor
