What Causes Appetite Loss Along With Vomiting In A Toddler?

CHello! My daughter is 2.5 yrs old and to this day she doesn t eat anything, once in a while she ll eat apple only, she lives on milk n roti, when we force feed her nythnng she vomits, shez nt gaining weight, shez 11 kgs n when she becomes sick comes down to 9 or 10 kgs, shez been an active n intelligent child so far but will nt eat or taste ny food, only loves candies,chocolates,chips,black gram(chane),sev,biscuits. Milk n roti we force feed her as the methods told by doctors dont work, we make her sit with us during lunch and dinner and giv her food on her plate...but she doesnt even take a morsel of food...its actually amazing how she functions the whole day without eating, we even didn t giv her nythng for a day but it ws futile...so a frnd suggested to giv her practin syrup...dese days shez become so weak ,shez irritable al the time,throws tantrums, if denied chips n chocolate, the problem is if we r nt giving it shez getting it from elsewhere( grandparents).... So plz suggest wat to do

Hi,

I hope she isn't having nutritional deficiency which is causing her to become so . Kindly get tested for that . You can use rewarding techniques like give her a chocolate only when she finishes a good meal.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
