14 month old not eating

Hi everyone.
My 14 month old dd has never been a great eater but she was eating yoghurts, bananas, toast and cheese along with random bits off mine and my partners plate but she's refusing everything offered now. Shall I just keep offering food. I'm getting worried about her as it's been nearly 3 weeks of hardly eating. She will drink milk but only 1 bottle a day of 7oz at the most. Her sleep is affected since she's refused to eat. She looks healthy and she's alert and drinking water. Not sure what's going on?!

Could be anything; teething, a developmental leap, maybe a change in her life (even if its something minor like you or your partner working slightly different hours to normal, or her routine has changed in some way). Always, always offer food! Also, make your food seem amazing by saying how yummy it is and giving her lots of praise if she eats anything. Just keep offering it. If it continues for the next week or two maybe go see the GP, and try keep an eye on her weight yourself just so you know if she is losing weight (just sit her on your own weighing scales). Good luck!
