Hello Change in appetite can happen time to time It could be because of teething or recent illness can reduce appetite Try making meal time relaxing dont pressurize your baby and dont give fluids or milk 30 mins prior meal. They dont tend to accept new food easily If the problem persists for prolonged time let the pediatrician check for weight and iron deficiency
