when ever Ive taken the kids to the doctors about not eating they have always just said "as long as they are drinking they will be fine" but its always reasuring to have them check things anyways
yeah sounds like some sort of stomach bug/gastro bug.....that's a long time to go without food for a little person and little people go down hill very quickly remember. I would see a GP first thing tomorrow morning.
In the meantime, keep offering her water, juices, any fluids she will take down even lemonade!! Whatever she will have..... and keep offering food....perhaps some cut up pieces of apple or grapes??
What is her fluid intake like? If she is still drinking jsut keep the fluids going and keep trying with the food, let her pick at it until she regains her appetite. A trip to the Dr would be good as well if she hasn't improved. But if she stops drinking and starts showing signs of dehydration I would get her checked sooner rather than holding off.
When DD1 has been sick she drops food pretty quickly, but we can get some fluids into her except for about 12 months ago, where we tried for nearly 3 days and hardly got anything into her, and ended up dehydrated
Take care and I hope little Miss is feeling a lot better very soon xxoo
I agree with Beema IRT her drinking, if she is drinking I wouldn't stress too much. When they're sick they can go up to 5 days without food before you have to start "worrying" (I know the worry starts WAY before then though!). DS had gastro a couple of years ago where he just threw up and there was no runs.
I hope she's back to herself soon. If you think it's something else though hun, go with your gut. Mummy always knows best xoxox
