It is frustrating when your child is not interested in food. You did not state her weight/height for a nutritional status so I do not know if she is underweight for her age. The most important is to relax at meals. If she will not eat a certain food, do not make a fuss over it. Give her other food alternatives and let her eat what she wants. Slowly introduce new foods, and if she does not want it, do not make a fuss over it. Let it go and enjoy the meal. Try again in a few months. Hoped this helped you.
