hahahah, same with my niece, kids at that age are like that, and thats normal, try changing her/his milk and the food you feed to her/him, it would make a big difference!!or get a vitamin that would boost her/his appetite, my sister is like that, she tries so many things just for her baby!!happy lotting...

patience is always the key with kids. try to eat something or pretend eating whst you want to feed him. show your child that you are going to open your mouth wide so she can imitate. monkey see monkey do. maybe your child does not like the food so you can find something that he would like. or maybe her tooth or teeth are coming out. this is painful for them thats the reason why she does not like to open her mouth. i have a son his pictures appears at the avatar. he loves food but he slows down whenever he has a fever or if his gums are aching for the teeth are starting to come out.

Maybe she is not feeling well. You could do well to take her to see a child specialist. Not eating for 2 days is big. Are you feeding her too much milk. If so, then cut down on milk and she will start eating when she feels hungry. Change the diet. Give her some mashed potatoes with butter, or mashed banana with a little honey and milk. Make eating a play and she'll love it. Good luck pal. We all need it with babies.

Never give an infant honey. Corn syrup or other sweeteners are ok, but honey can cause health issues.

when my cousin had that problem she would get her other daughter and say this is yummy look how she is eating she is a good girl... none for you (looking at the other girl).
Kids get jealous of one another and will eat if they see others eating as well... it just takes some time... did you take her to a doctor? my other cousin's son refused to eat for a while turned out his tooth was causing him pain which made him to refuse to eat.... update us and let us know if she ate or not ;)
Best of luck!
