Bad Cold and No Appetite

I can imagine how painful it is to watch your little one suffer. I want to point out though, that you are trying to feed her dairy products which only add to mucous build up in her system. Clear liquids, jello, soup, and greens would be much better for her system. Has she increased her vitamin c intake? Have you tried rubbing baby Vicks vapo rub on her chest to help her breathing? It works wonders. I would wait another few days but change her diet to no dairy and very little sugar to help her. Also, tapping gently with your fingers on her chest can help build up the immune system and break up congestioon. You can do it too and make it like a game....for you it is more like pounding on your chest with fists like Tarzan and her, little taps. Make it a game.
Good Luck,

I wouldn't force her to eat when she is sick. Little bites of things here and there are perfect. Just offer her nutritious and varied snacks / mini meals throughout the day, and that should be fine. She'll regain her appetite when she feels better.

If her nose is stuffy, avoid giving her dairy products - that will make it worse. Yogurt, pizza, and cheese omelets are no-no's!

Hi L.:

She's eating mucuos-producing foods (pizza, cheese, yogurt), which is adding to the problem, plus did you research or was told the negative side effects of the medication?

Our office is available to assist you, via a consultation to deal with the issue naturally and safely.

Best,

I think I see why she doesn't want to eat. Children and babies know intuitively what makes them feel good or bad. Too much dairy! If she's that congested, the cheese and dairy are just making it worse. Doctors will deny a connection, but dieticians and nutritionists as well as any professional singer will tell you that dairy products cause an increase in mucous. Even eggs can do the same. Try dairy free for a week and you should see a difference.
