POOJA GOSWAMIMom of a 10 yr 6 m old girl3 years agoA. Not taking meals and milk at this age could be due to mainly two reasons - Teething and Constipation.
If you notice symptoms like excessive drooling, mild fever, loose motions, irritation in gums and resisting foods, then baby must be going through teething phase. Try to massage the gums with clean finger or cotton cloth and give a chilled teether to chew on. Feed only easy to swallow foods.
If baby has difficulty in passing stool or do not poop regularly, then digestion is not good. Give fiber rich foods like beans, broccoli, peas, carrots, green leafy vegetables, oats with nuts, dry fruits, apple or prune juice, puffed rice and lots if fluids. Massage stomach in circular motion and move legs in cycling rotation to improve digestion.
