Question
What should I feed my child when they are sick and not eating much?
Little Lunches Expert Answer
When kids are sick and not eating much, it helps to focus on fluids and small, gentle foods rather than full meals. Offer small sips of water, milk, or oral rehydration drinks, along with simple favorites like yogurt, soup, toast, or fruit every 1–2 hours. Try not to pressure them to eat—hydration is the priority.
