Children generally eat a little at a time. So you can make meals calorie dense by adding ghee/ oil and sugar of she likes sweet taste. You. An also use sattu with water ghee and sugar . It's okay for a child to have a few spoons at a time. Do not force feed. Try reducing milk gradually , this will increase her appetite for other foods. Also offer fresh fruits as puree or thick juice.
Next Steps
if child is active then no need to worry. Just make meals more calorie dense.

This is a temporary phase of not eating which will pass. The rate of growth is slower as compared to earlier so they are likely to need less. Don't give packaged foods like cerelac as they cause indigestion and reduced appetite. Give only home cooked fresh food. Which milk are you giving ? Breast milk is ok but if you are giving cows milk, reduce milk intake. Is she passing potty daily? She won't eat if she is not passing. Always mention height and weight of the baby
