In April my daughter had a very high fever (40) she was taken to hospital and she had a ear and water infection. She was very poorly for about two weeks.
During this time she only had her bottles she wouldn't eat any solids and ever done then she's not eating properly. Even her favourite foods she's won't eat. If she eats it's only a couple of mouthfuls.
Has anyone else experienced this after an infection. She's not eaten properly for about 7 weeks now and I'm worried about her.
Thanks

We lost eating at a similar age for different reasons albeit still medical reasons.

Firstly, don't push her, don't rush her, don't trick her into eating or get visually stressed etc.

I would pretty much go back to the start. Blw or whatever you did. Let her play with food without any expectation that she'll eat it. Let her make a mess, but don't push her to do anything in particular.

If she has a dummy we found dummy dips worked but literally dipped and ask or leave dummy for her, of she says no then dummy cleaned.

I'd also speak to your hv, see of they can refer you to SALT for a check up
