Not feeding is a worry... but her weight seems is ok....

Averagely babies can remain at a stabalised weight range of between 9kg to 11kg for the 12 month to 20 month age period... meaning their weight will not gain much... maybe because they become more active... so metabolic rate is faster.

my son is only 8.2kg .... he is 20 months old... other than being underweight... he is a healthy and happy baby and development is same pace as others his age.

He also went thru a period of about 2 weeks - 3 weeks when he refused most food...it was frustrating ... and you waste a lot of food.... just trying everything you can and throwing most away... (I think that was when he was about 9 or 10 months old too)

Anyway, he is still a fussy eater. He was born disliking milk , but luckily... he started to enjoy milk after 15 months... weird.

Anyway...I can suggest practical things to try...
1) feed very small feeds and feed very frequently... 45mins to 1 hour.... it's very tiring... but no choice....until your baby get out of this phase...

2) mix your BM with FM (higher percentage of BM intially... maybe 80% BM to 20% FM)... slowly change the % to more FM once she starts to accept the taste.)

To save your BM... pack into small bags of mabe 2 oz each, Freeze it and thaw only what you need to use... each time.

Finally, try fruits.... the sweet ones specially.... if she takes fruits... it's better than nothing...my son then... could finish half a pear and a few grapes.... even though he would not take any other types of proper solids or milk.

You can also try yoghurt.

My DD's 9 months old and also suddenly refused porridge and cereal for the past two weeks le. She'd just wanna latch on or eat only selected items. You must try new stuff with the bb to see if she eats anything else. For my DD, I made wheat pancake for her using wheat flour and some veg puree. Then when feeding her, i'd add fruit puree on the pancake. She eats it so at least she's eating some carbo. On top of that, i just realised that she eats bread too although she's still toothless. Hence, all i've been feeding her recently besides milk are pancakes, bread, yolk, fruits and some baby biscuits.

Your bb's weight seems perfectly fine to me. My DD's 9 months old but weighs only 7kg. Was worried about it and mentioned it at the last visit to the doctor but he said there's nothing to worry about coz bb's reached all the major milestones for her age: she's just a small little baby, that's all. Her weight has hardly increased in the last 2 months. All that crawling and climbing are negating all the food that she's taking in... :tlaugh:

You can try Fenugreek to increase bm tho i'm not sure if it's useful. But i think there's no harm trying...

You might want to give your BB some vitamins. My PD gave Medvite - use as directed. I usually mix with a small amount of milk/cereal and feed BB that first and then continue feeding the remaining milk/cereal without the vitamin.

At least you will be assured that BB is getting the necessary nutrients even when BB is not feeding well. I have not looked for this vitamin in the stores, but you might want to check with some pharmacies.

Doctor prescribed Novelysin. It's a multi-vit but it helps to increase appetite and increase alertness etc. End up my DD cannot sleep even after i decreased the dosage!!!! I just stopped giving her the multivit yday... hope she stops being so restless...
