A. Hello, Loss of appetite is normal for a child after fever and any illness. Its important that she drinks plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration. offer clear liquids and foods with high water content like juices (diluted to half water and half juice), soups. Serve up her favorites food..be respectful of your baby's likes and dislikes when illness makes her appetite iffy. If your baby doesn't want to eat, period, don't force it. And once they recover from their illness, their appetites usually recover too .

A. Encourage her to drink. Offer fluids frequently throughout the day, and remember that any amount — even a few sips at a time — is a good thing. Try to get back to the usual milk once she's been tolerating clear fluids for some hours.
