The first thing I picked out from your post was 'Hospital meds, Over the counter meds' God knows what else you are poisoning your daughter with. GMOs? Processed food? Cerelac etc, Sodas and juice? Cereals? Grains? Gluten? Pasteurized/homogenized milk? Boss, no offense meant but you are killing your child  I've looked at the responses here, unfortunately didn't see one that sought to interpret what 'lack of appetite' means? Think of yourself, when do you lose appetite? When do animals lose appetite? Answer that, and hopefully it will change you and your family's life forever.  I hope my words resonated with you as intended. In kind. We lose appetite when we are sick. Loss of appetite is not a bad thing. Sickness is not a bad thing. Both are ways that your body, is trying to communicate something to you. A wise person would 'listen'. When an animal in the bush is injured or falls sick, it hibernates. Lets the body focus its energies on healing. Loss of appetite is a way of the body telling you 'Chief, let me sort out your health first, we'll eat later' But what do uninformed people do, stuff themselves when sick, making things even worse. If my assumption is right about your daughter, she's clogged up. She has alot of waste (poop) inside her. Cleanse her. Patia yeye Castor oil(to enhance elimination) and green juice(for its cleansing properties) peke yake for a week. Breakfast, lunch and supper. As little or as much as she wants. The carrot juice in the green juice, 'sweetens' it. Use a good juicer. Masticating juicers (single gear juicers), and triturating Juicers (twin gear juicers). Or best get a manual juicer and exercise your family into good health. Thank me later. Loss of Appetite is very common among kids wazazi wanaelewa hii shida. Hakuna shida unless this loss of appetite is accompanied by a few other symptoms.

You live in your own world if you think the child has a problem worth being assisted.If it was the kids who beg for coins from me in the streets I would understand but a 4.5 year old kid who is dropped at school and the dad gives us advice on wazua how to be rich,it is not a serious issue.

Hakuna shida unless this loss of appetite is accompanied by a few other symptoms. Moody little things, aren't they? I'd much rather safe than sorry. We could learn a thing or two from Muslims. Fasting is very important. Giving the body a sabbatical. I would have suggested a dry fast, but it might be much to much for a young one. Green juice 'fast' would suffice. I forgot to mention de-worming. And including ferments in ALL your/her food.

Rule 30,056,000 of parenting:
Let your child control their appetite. Your job is to provide healthy foods and set a good example, by eating healthy. They will catchup, and not override their own hunger/fulness signals when older.

With a light touch http://mobile.nation.co....l/-/20t2xj/-/index.html
Quote:But we were talking about food. I am told that when I was young, I detested it.
I had to be forced, threatened, and cajoled to take a few spoonfuls. Photographs of a skeletal younger me are proof of this aversion to food. But this quickly changed once I checked into high school and discovered scarcity.
The food we were given was never enough, and every mealtime, I gobbled up every morsel in my plate, stopping short of licking my plate, acutely aware that my next meal will be several hours away, and will not be anywhere near filling. It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt...

I remember pretending to fall asleep so as to eat the first chapati.

Have you tried lemon juice (sweetened) or orange juice ? from real fruits...? They're appetizers, just make them attractive to the child...All the best.

1. Never argue with your child: your age -> life experiences -> wisdom -> God made you a parent for a reason. Listen to them, guide them, be a parent and friend (in that order)
2. Project your children's behaviour to when they are adults and if you dont like a habit now, it will be worse when they are older. dont imagine that age will automatically overcome certain bad habits: whining (you know such wazuans - very irritating), disobedient (you such junior who cant stick to the straight and narrow, etc)

If your child is not sick then loss of appetite is simply due to lack of hunger!
Take control of what and when she eats.
No snacks of any kind in between meals. Not even sweets!
If she says she has no appetite, don't argue; just cover the food and keep it in the fridge. Next meal, give her that food...even if it means ugali for breakfast! [I assume you have a microwave oven]
In two days flat, the appetite will return...in a big way!
