18 months old refusing to eat

Hello
I am in dire need of advice. My daughter turned 18 months a few days ago and she has started to refuse to eat.
She was never the best eater with everything being more interesting to her than food.
However these last couples of days she has refused to eat anything but bread and crackers and her milk ( she has 180ml in the morning, 240ml at night). She even refuses to take her vitamins which she used to love.
I have tried everything- homemade food, industrial food, texture, puree, letting her eat, spoon feeding etc). I can see she is hungry as she cries for bread/ crackers etc.
I do not know what to do and I am now super stresser which i know doesn't help the situation.

Is there anyone out there with advice? Sad

Hi just thought I would give my personal experience on this with my son.
He was the exact same at his age and began to become very fussy with food as he was so interested in playing and distracted by tv and literally anything else. So I began to make dinner time kind of a game, I would do 'teddy bear dinner parties' I'd make songs up and at first he wasn't interested, but be persistent make it more fun for them and hopefully they might become excited to dinner time! Of course all children are different! I hope you get the advice you need x
