thank you very much for your help Mel replied. I thought your 21 month old was a boy, while reading your previous post ??????!

Anyway, please DON' T stop giving her water. They need water for proper functioning of their bodies and bowel movements. You can reduce the fruit juice though. It' s less nutritious than milk.

If she has suddenly abandoned milk and dairy products, it could mean that she has a stomach or intestine infection.

Milk and dairy aggravates stomach infection, so her natural system must be avoiding it. So, take her to a doc and get her checked.

Just keep offering her whatever little she has with the spoon. If she has or doesn' t have, never mind, she will automatically have more when she' s better.

How is her stool ? Is it normal, or increased frequency / loose ?
