Daughter no longer likes to eat

It's like a switch turned on and she hates to eat. I offer her 3 meals with snacks and formula pretty much all day long. She refuses to sit in her high chair but will if I give her puffs. She's interested in my food and I usually give her a taste or two but if it's any more than that she doesn't want it any more. She loves to take a bite than another bite 15-20 min later, a true grazer. Bottles have been a no go as well I make 3 or 4 6oz per day but she only drinks 2 or 3 oz at a time. Is this all ok/ normal? My pedi says don't worry as of now but should i

  • Maybe she isn't feeling well? My DD did the same thing a couple days before having a week straight of diarrhea. Other than that she was happy as could be. Then the stomach bug passed and she went back to her typical eating habits. Just make sure you are monitoring for dehydration.

  • My DD has been doing the same with bottles, I feel like I am wasting so much formula.  I have put some of it in her sip cup with dinner and she will finish it off no problem.  She loves to eat food with texture so whatever I'm eating and will take a few bites of her own food every so often.  I'm starting to think being done with bottles all together will not be a challenge.

  • My LO is on an eating strike too. Getting him to take more than 3oz of his bottle is impossible and he's not finishing his jars of food either. I know he wants more table food, but we're on vacation and I'd rather wait until we get home to begin that. He's also fighting an ear infection and has two more top teeth coming through. I know it's just a phase, and he has a lot going on, so I'm not too worried about it.
