Do you warm the milk? And this is not something the doctor told me so u can get a second opinion but I would just put 2 ounces of formula with 4-6 oz of milk to get baby used to the taste of milk. And if formula also doesn’t work, I’m sure there’s something they’ve got to be able to eat. My son only ate blueberries and bananas for the longest time but he eventually branched out. Maybe there’s something you can find as kind of an ol’ reliable snack so she’s eating something.

@Ariah she is eating a lot of yogurt blueberries and raspberries she drinks a lot of soups that I make but she just doesn’t gain anything idk why

Cheese, eggs and bananas are three things you wanna try to get them to eat. Great for protein and vitamin levels, but they also carry a lot of sustenance to help that weight gain. I’d ask your doctor about a toddler formula (they are typically just a supplement not a replacement). My son still uses it because he doesn’t eat EVERYTHING he’s supposed to take in some days. I use enfagrow. I hope all goes well

See another doctor! Momma knows best. My son stopped eating when he was 6 months old. We found that he was severely constipated. Once we fixed that we fed him high calorie foods (banana, avocado, eggs). But honestly your main concern right now is hydration. Babies don’t need food but they do need water. Offer water often if she won’t take it you’re going to have to give it via a medicine syringe. It’s not fun for anyone but she needs at least 3 wet diapers in 24hrs. I brought my son to the ER because of dehydration and honestly they didn’t care so do what you can at home but if she doesn’t have enough wet diapers call a doctor preferably not your current one since they are not concerned. Good luck!!!
