A. When your one-year-old has a fever and is not eating much, it's important to offer easy-to-digest, nutrient-rich foods that can help maintain her energy and prevent weight loss. Here are some gentle and nourishing options: 1. Breast milk or formula: If you're still breastfeeding or giving formula, continue offering it, as it provides hydration and nutrients. 2. Soups and broths: Chicken or vegetable soups are easy to digest and can provide hydration along with essential nutrients. 3. Mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes: These are soft, easy to eat, and provide good calories for energy. 4. Plain rice or rice porridge: Mild and gentle on the stomach, rice porridge (khichdi or congee) is a comforting food during illness. 5. Yogurt: If your baby tolerates dairy, yogurt can be soothing and is rich in probiotics, which support digestion. 6. Smoothies: A fruit smoothie with yogurt or milk can be a fun way to get calories and nutrition. 7. Bananas: They are easy to digest, rich in potassium, and provide energy. 8. Oatmeal or porridge: Mild and nourishing, it provides energy and is easy to eat. 9. Coconut water: For hydration, coconut water is a great source of natural electrolytes. Encourage small, frequent meals and focus on fluids to prevent dehydration, as that is also crucial when a baby has a fever. If the fever persists or she’s refusing food for an extended period, consult a pediatrician to ensure there are no underlying concerns.
