I have 2 children ages 4 and 2 years old. They usually eat good one week and almost nothing the next week. Kids eat to grow and have energy. When their bodies aren't growing then they don't really eat. The most important thing is that she doesn't loose weight because then there could be a medical problem. But, everybody is different and grow and eat at different rates. Take her to the doctor for a quick exam and make sure she is staying where she should be and growing. She will not let herself starve.

How old is your baby? How long has he gone without eating? Do you mean not eating anything at all, or just not eating solids? There is no way to answer this question until you give a bit more information.

You try to figure out why. Is the baby sick? Could the baby be heading for a growth spurt, which usually means they don't eat like they usually do.

I wish i knew how old your baby is.Its ok some babies go through times when they just are'nt as hungry as normal.As long as he/she is not losing weight i'm sure he/she will be fine.Do not try to force the baby to eat.They will eat when they are hungry.If it goes on for to long take it to the doctor.This is normal & most babies & kids go thriugh it at least once in their life.

Don't eat at all? Or wants to eat, but doesn't? See the doctor.

Are you breast feeding? or bottle?
But either way, if they go without eating for more than a day, you should contact your pediatrician.

If they won't eat, then leave them alone. They'll eat when they're hungry.
