Toddler refusing solid food, sleep prob

Question

Asked for Female, 31 Years

Two problems have started together- 1. 19 month old Refusing solid food completely (absolutely nothing) + only nibbling on selective foods like salted chips, icecream, pomegranate. That also just 2-3 bites. Otherwise consuming almost 2lit (+-) of undiluted cow milk in 24hrs. 2. Crying hysterically in sleep This has started from last 5days. What is happening? What should we do?

Hi,please cut down on milk and junk foods.A child can take only 400 ml of cow's milk in a day.Please cut down on junk foods.Junk gives lot of calories but absolutely very minimal vitamins and minerals.A Normal child should feel hungry.There are no drugs to increase appetite.When your baby is hungry give home cooked food.
