DD is almost 2.

For this last 10 days she's completely lost her appetite. Not just for dinners but she's refusing everything, cake, yoghurt even chocolate. Some days she's eaten a few mouthfuls of various things others not really much at all.

Drinking fine - still has large beaker of milk in the morning.

Not really any other symptoms although she is a bit more whingy. She also boiled up a temperature on Thursday but only for a few hours and then it went back down.

What do you think? Concerning or just a phase. It's just worrying me that she's refusing even treats.

No, my dd goes through stages like this and she's nearly 4. Some weeks she eats loads others not so much. Just keep an eye out for any other symptoms.

Try giving the milk after her breakfast as well. Milk is really filling.

Could she have an ear infection? It could make chewing uncomfortable.

Mine would regularly so this.
My 3 year old is in the middle of a non eating phase. It might be tummy problem I dunno.
No I don't worry unless with high temp. Or unless dehydrated.
