i have a 17 months old daughter who is avoiding food recently , is there any

[mina g]

medicines that i can give her? that i can give her to make her feel eat

[hautemama]

that's not a good idea at all.

that sort of thing shouldn't be treated w/ mediation unless she is SICK and isn't eating because she is throwing up etc

instead look at environmental changes--- home life, day care life, new people, new babies, new rules, new schedule, etc

see the doc, make sure she's healthy and then love her and pay attention to her needs. she may be telling you something isn't right or she is uncomfortable.

No. And a wane in appetite is common.

Children that age go through stages when they eat. Instead of medice, why try making her a smoothie of real fruits with milk. Or try buying her the pedia sures from the grocery store. They are kind of expensive but they are full of vitamins. Hope this helps.
