Good morning all.
My daughter is 17 months old and is generally a picky eater. She has been ill with a cough, and sickness/diarrhoea since Saturday 3rd. As a result she is basically refusing to eat. i.e. half a biscuit per day or a quarter of a slice of toast if that. and more often than not she brings that back up. She is however drinking water like a fish, and I have been adding dioralyte to her bottle once per day as well as a vitiman supplement once per day. The doctor put her on antibiotics as she has a slight chest infection.
My question is, should I worry about her not eating? The doctor say's no, but she's like a little bird at the moment. All she does is sleep all day and looks so fragile.
Is there anything that will perk her up and get her eating? even if it's just a small improvement?
Thanks in advance,
Nick
