Your child is a picky eater. Baby's weight is low but as long as baby is active and healthy, don't worry. It is a behavioural issue and will require behavioural therapy. To begin with stop forcing food. Just give whatever food items she eats . Let her first get into the habit of eating. She may not be eating food but taking only Milk. It requires a lot of patience to make baby eat food instead of milk. There are no short cuts. You serve food as and when required and ignore if baby doesn't eat. They take small quantity more frequently. Let your baby know that you are not worried and you really don't worry. Things will get solved over time. But if you worry and force food, she may revolt and the problem may get worse. Better to have patience.
