As weight is normal and she is active and playful, there is no need to worry. She will start eating in a few days. Are you giving formula or packaged food? Avoid that. Give home cooked fresh food.is she passing potty daily? Is she gassy? That may mean digestion issues. But she should be fine in some time.
