3 year old that doesn't want to eat
I am having problems with my 3 year old granddaughter and her eating habits. She has always had some kind of breakfast (Eggos, pancakes) before going to school, but in the last few weeks, she doesn't want to eat. She goes to school around 7:30 - 7:45 and according to her school schedule she gets a little snack around 9. She has her lunch around 11:30 and another little snack around 3:30. I have found some of the snacks in the bookbag unopened, and yesterday the school sent her macaroni & cheese lunch intact and uneaten. She had an infection a couple of weeks ago, and yesterday she was taken to the doctors office again and now she has upper respiratory infection. Could it be the reason for her appetite being lost?
I am really concerned because she she comes home at night she is famished and wants to eat as soon as she gets home, which is usually 6:30. She is not very heavy, a little on the thin side, and now with her not eating, she gets me concerned.
Is there anything that we can give her to stimulate her appetite or should we just wait and see if she starts eating when her infections clear?
