refusing food and bottle

[Lolliemma]

I have a 13 month old baby and she is refusing food she hasnt eaten anything all day but she has had 2 bottles during today but tonight didnt want her bottle I am worried as to what to do now she has been drinking water but not alot

Hi it is worring when babies dont drink or eat much. shouldnt worry about the food too much as long as she is drinking other fluids. she is most likely sickening for something. Be prepared for a rough night.hope she is better tomorrow. keep trying fluids though ,prehaps she would drink juice rather than water.

hi if she is still off her milk try her on warm chocolate milk shake,my little 3 year old still has a bottle of it every morning,and she is still getting all the good ness,your baby could also be cutting her big teeth,just let her drink what ever she feels happy with,they dont stay of there food for long good luck

Thanx for the answers She had a bottle this morning but still hasnt really eaten i think its her side teeth coming she nibbles at things but wont bite hard on anything. Calpol and bonjela to the rescue!!!!!!

if you are worried you should go to the doctors, even if all he says is don't worry, but at least it will put your mind at rest. Hot muggy weather will put a baby off it's milk and even adults don't feel like eating when they are too hot.

make sure that the little one gets plenty of fluids, try things like ice pops, admittedly not healthy for the teeth, but just clean them at the end of the day.

try frozen fromage frais squeezy tubes. much better for the teeth
