Check with your paediatrician.
Have you done deworming for parasites???

Op,
Hope your baby is active, normal and dont have any health issues. If you are worried too much Consult doctor.
I have faced similar issue with my son who is the pickiest eater. He used to drink milk from bottle only. What I did was mix little bit of boiled raagi and add that to milk and give it in bottle (slightly increase the size of the hole of the bottle nipple ). It was like a phase. He used to spit if I give any thing else and was super active. We consulted a doctor that time. He said as the baby dont have any issue and have lots of energy, may be he is getting enough calories through milk, nothing to worry. My son continued to be a picky eater for long. Even his daycare teachers were concerned. He eats something for few days (like a surge) then stop eating anything , switch fully to milk for many days then again this cycle continues. Now he changed a lot and eat like a normal kid do.

Any way experiment with finger foods, some thing he can pick and eat. Consult doctor to make sure he is fine

Hi OP,
Kids go through these phases. She might be cutting teeth or having gums pain or something like that. If you checked doc, and she is behaving normal or looking normal, then she might resume eating soon.
I remember, mine at exactly 1 yr, had exactly same phase and she had lost lot of weight and that was first ime for us so I was panicking a lot and surfing or calling or asking everyone. Now, I have grown habitual to it.
Just keep trying giving her food. If you are at home with kid, then its easy.

No...you will not face any problem. Your baby is either simply not hungry or she is cutting teeth. Feed her milk if that is what she likes as of now. She will eventually start eating. Keep offering her feed but try not to force feed her. Give her finger food and let her feed herself. Force feeding can cause problems in future so avoid that. But keep trying and experiment with new food items.
