Not Eating / Loss of Appetite in 16 mo

Hi,

DD has suddenly lost her appetite. She loves her food normally so it's very strange.

On Friday night (after a very big dinner) she was sick twice about 1am and 2am. There was loads of vomit with lots of undigested bits of pasta (sorry). Ever since she has barely eaten. In the past three days since she vomited she has had maybe a couple of yoghurts, a tiny amount of breakfast cereal and a few rice cakes. A million miles away from what she would normally eat in a day. She is still drinking water and milk.

She hasn't got a temperature, nor seems unwell. She is still happy and playing well but just isn't eating. She is also paler than normal. She had her MMR jab on the Thursday afternoon and I understand that loss of appetite could be a side effect but more likely after about a week, and not 36hrs afterwards?

Any suggestions? I was thinking of taking her to the GP? Am I just worrying unnecessarily and it is a side effect from the vaccine, rather than anything else?
