My 8 months kid (8 kg) is not eating anything. Cerelac, rice, fruits. Etc since last 4 days. She's closing her mouth and crying if we feed forcefully. She is hungry but healthy and not having other issues. Only eating mothers milk and I am worried that its not sufficient for 8 kg baby. Kindly advise and prescribe some medicines or any other ideas she will feel hungry and eat something.

It may be a dentition time disorder. If you want to give Homeopathy, then I can prescribe you, so that she will again start to eat. Chamomilla 30 & Cina 30 will solve this problem. For further assistance go to your nearest Homeopathic physician.

Please do not forcefeed the baby. Her weight for her age is on higher side. DO NOT WORRY. As long as baby is alert active playful I am sure she does not have any problem. No need to give any medicine to increase her appetite. Have patience Give her cafeteria choice Semisolid f/mashed freshly prepared home made preparation of baying texture colour and consistency.
