mandeep replied. how is your daughter now? any improve in health. does she drink milk cos if she is drinking milk then milk in it self is a food so no wonder she is not hungry. if that' s a case then reduse that first. speak to health visitor n i am sure she will happy to give u best advise.
one thing more i will say let her eat herself may be she is grown up n u have not noitce lol. mandeep replied. Go to the M&S food section and u will find them there in ready made fresh food its green in colour wraper small pack of 2 cutlets.

right try this then, next time have food in plate n dont even bother to ask her instead start eating u r self or start putting in yours hubby' s mouth
i am sure she will react to this. cos when some time amol is trying to escape from food that' s wot i do n trust me 3rd bite goes in to his mouth.
2) put food in her mouth n distract her be4 even she gags says look, look n start jumping also ( I know its funny but u have to do all sorts of things to make them eat) there is a plane out side or snow or some big bird etc

3) this is how we started with amol as amol was on puree food for quite a while, so we start going to resturants for dinner or some time luches from there amol learn to eat lumpy food n stop gaging i use to make sure that we sit near window where he can see car park n while he was busy looking which colour car big or small he use to finish his butter roll n soup. now when ever we even go on the road which go towards resturant he will start shouting soup soup soup.
try this n see good luck mandeep replied. A big hug to u i know wot u must be going through.fingers cross she will be fine soon. i went to NHS Asthama website n i read they wrote that the sooner they catch it then they can give best possible treatment n in some cases it has cure totally with this i can only say go according wot doctor says n if doc has given inhaler then that must be required as u know that here they don' t prescribed something until unless its must.
does she go to playgroup? does she eat there?
wot is her daily food intake. do u only give her indian food or she like junk food like burger, pasta pizza etc. if yes then u have to make sure that, that junk food must be tunred into good food be4 it goes on the plate. like Amol (My son) love eating pasta so i make home made sauce which has all the veg like mushrooms , capsicums, onins, garlic n cougettes plus 1/2 a tin of tomato puree plus couple of tea spoon of full fat cream then semi puree it n mix it with boiled kids pasta, same with spagathi n pizza, Marks n spencers does very good/tasty/yummy vegetable cutlets and macronni cheese give her that to eat with garlic bread. give her savoury cheese sandwich or egg mayo. sandwhich
if she is not happy to eat fruit then make smothies or buy inoccent smothies as they r best n bananas n strwaberry one is very yummy to drink.

if she like sweet food then give her bread n butter pudding (sainsbury' s does the best one) give her pancakes with strwberry jam if icecream is allowed then icecream with fruit.
I know when kid are not well then they go off food but once they r fine they r back on track give her little may be every 5 to 10 min a chunk of fruit or veg for cooked food i know its tough but its just for a timebeing n once she is better she will be fine.
take her to park or r there more kids of the same age group cos that can also help her as when she will see them eating hopefully she will also eat with them. its long hope it is any help.
