My 8 month old won't eat

Sunday night my baby threw up her soy formula so today we tried switching her to Nutramogen. We tried putting in a bottle, a sippy cup, and even in a big girl cup but she wouldn't drink it. She kept saying "Yassy!" (nasty) She hasn't been eating good at all and is starting to lose weight again. The doctor will probably want to try goat's milk and vitamins next. Any advice on getting little one's to eat would be greatly apprecitated. We have to keep her weight up and keep her healthy because she will either have surgery or treatments or both for a vascular malformation soon. Thanks for your help!

How about making a smoothie with yogurt, berries and formula. I would usually say don't worry about it but if she is loosing weight there might be an underlying med. issue.


Good luck

Well, I talked to the nurse at the doctor's office today. We think it might be her reflux giving her trouble. She is only on Zantac and they think she might need something more. This has been going on and getting worse for about a month now. We have to go in this afternoon so hopefully they can figure it out!
