And if she doesn't want her milk, why not flavor it so she will drink it.? I don't know your Kg....but I do know that children go thru times where there appetite slows....I had a 3 year old that did that for awhile....and then all of a sudden she started eating more again....I would let her eat snacking , since she doesn't want her meals....but pay attention to exactly how much food she actually eats....and get a doctor's opinion. If he isn't concerned, than she is probably just having a slow eating period ...but you can offset that by giving her supplemental food in another way....like here, we would give her a drink like "ensure" which has a lot of nutrition in it....add something like that to her diet until she starts eating more.....

I see moms just frantic that the child may die of starvation as all they will eat is jello or some other random food. Is she off of milk because of allergy or just refusing to have it? if she will not drink milk then try cheese or yoghurt even ice-cream. try to give her small healthy snacks throughout the day. Her weight seems fine and she will get over this phase in a few months. If you can make sure she gets a vitamin every day, she should be fine. I know it is frustrating, but that is to be expected. Try not to worry too much. :) Three year olds are notorious for being picky eaters. it is a phase that they go through.

When the issue is the health of your child and if you are truly concerned about it, go and see a doctor or a registered dietician who will have the facts and the answers for you.
