My daughter just turned 18mos. old and she has the worst appetite. I have not seen her eat anything in the past 3 days, other than a bite of this and a bite of that. Shes probably eaten approx. 5 oz. of food in the past 3 days. And nothing with any real nutritional value. Usually, every 3rd - 5th day, she will finally be hungry enough to eat, some. On those rare days, I can get her to eat approx. 12-15 ozs. of food. That is still no where NEAR what she should be eating. She drinks plenty of milk and I have been adding cereal to her bottles. I am at wits end. And when I ask my Dr. about it, he says "I've never seen a child starve itself. She'll eat when shes hungry"..what the hell kinda answer is that. Anyone out there have a better more logical explanation??
