I am somewhat worried, last week my daughter had 3 days fever and broncitis and now she has stopped eating, she is only drinking her camila tea and milk, she has lost a lot of weight for her age and looks very thin. :frowning:

I asked her different kinds of food and put in front of her and all she is saying no no .. dont want to eat and turns it away!

Tomorrow we are off for a long weekend to another city and country and now I am worried what if she keeps this routine she will not have the strenght to do anything with us and what if she still doesnt eat there and we will not have warm milk there.

oh what to do ?

You can prob get powdered milk...add Carnation Instant Breakfast (or something similar)...it has as much protein and "good" calories as a full meal.

PediaSure! i hear it’s a good idea to give it to kids when they are not eating and losing weight :hmmm:

It must be so hard seeing ur little one not eating. :frowning:
inshAllah once she gets better…she will more then make up for it.

^ye pediasure is a good supplement. Try pedialyte too.

Also, if she is sick and does not prefer to eat - then DON'T force her.

If she has fever - try not to give milk. Just water is good enough too.

Make sure the body temperature does not exceed... keep her cool with wet towel...

It's very natural of her not to eat when she's sick. Her weight will recover. Inshallah.
