Its important that she drinks plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration.
For an older baby who has started solids, offer clear liquids and foods with high water content like juices 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 .
