16 months old and not eating anything.

My daughter will not eat anything at all! It's been two weeks. She will only drink her milk and pediasure. She will take a bite here and there, but no way is it enough to fill her. She used to eat like she had a bottomless pit, but now she even turns down blueberries and peaches, which are her all time favorites. We also give her vitamins in her milk/juice. I'm worried she isn't getting enough nutrients. And with her already being tiny for her age, I don't want her to lose any weight. Her doctor's already told us she's underweight and needs to gain weight.

Any ideas on why she won't eat or what I could do to get her to eat? :\

Have you tried starting over? mayne try purees again

She won't eat anything mushy or if she needs help eating it she won't eat it. She's a stubborn little girl. :\

Try the gerber pick ups she can feed herself

How much milk does she drink?

Have you tried smoothie type drinks? You can pack in so much hidden veggies etc...in there.

I make mine for my 11.5 month old with fruits and veggies (oatmeal made into powder) some greek yogurt and some ice as well as some milk. They are yummy, get some fun chraracter or twirly straws.

Maybe try sandwich cutters, cuts sandwiches into animals etc...walmart sells them made by munchkin for 2.98. My kids love them. lol

Try to think of fun things to do with food, at her age maybe get her involved in the kitchen, spreading the pb on the bread or stiring up pancake mix, saying oh look how good you did making this, its special etc....trying to encourage her to eat it by having her help make it.

I make my kids pancake muffins...pour batter into miffin tins, we had fruit and bacon bits (already cooked ) in them and freeze them pop them out in the morning.

But if she is drinking tons of milk her eating wont be that much, maybe try to cut her milk back some and see if she eats more foods.

She gets like two cups of milk throughout the day. She drinks a little with breakfast, then we put it in the fridge. Nap time she finishes it, or almost does, then when she gets up we give her water with lunch, and then milk with dinner and a half hour before bed, otherwise she wakes up at 3am screaming because her belly is empty. :\ && She isn't a fan of juice lately either, so either water, milk, or even pediasure when she doesn't eat.

I will have to try the smoothie thing with our baby bullet. I just need to find a few recipes and stuff to make. We let her help us stir things, and get the bread for us or stuff out of the fridge. I will also have to find those sandwich cutters, or i could use the cookie cutters we have.

Thanks for the ideas! (:
