Before we moved house over a month ago, dd used to love the food I was making her but was also enjoying the odd heinz powder meal (when you just had water),

fast forward now, she won't eat anything I make, but will be so happy to eat the heinz powder meal. she will also eat peas, sweetcorn, blueberries, yogurt.

But I feel she is not getting enough diversified food. if i tried to give her fish (pureed one) she will refuse to it. I feel these powdered meal aren't the best for her but she needs to eat so I feel I am stuck there

What can I do to make her eat normally again?

She was teething in the past few weeks, so I thought this may be the explanation but there is no change at all now.

Just relax about it. You are probably right with the teething. That plus a house move is hard for her. If it were me I'd think she has some fruit, some veg and some dairy so it is fine. Serve normal meals, eat together when you can and all have the same. Make sure there is some component of each meal she will eat (so pea as one of the veg or yoghurt for pudding). If she eats great, tell her she has done well. If she doesn't then when you are done take the plate away and bring out fruit and yoghurt for pudding. No fuss. She will improve in time.
