The rash is probably just from the fever. Fever rashes like heat rashes are small red bumps that, usually go away on there own. If her fever went away then the rash should go away soon. If she still has a fever she could have an infection, like strep, and need antibiotics. If you have seem a doctor and the Doctor said she was fine or gave you medicine, just wait for her to get better if she's not better in a week take her back. \n\nAs for the formula try mixing the juice, with the formula, or watering down the formula. the most important thing is to keep the baby hydrated when she has a fever. If her fever is gone, and she still won't take the formula, you can try not giving her juice. eventually she will get hungry enough to take the formula.

He or she might be lacking something in his or her diet. Too much salt/sodium is not good. You should discuss this with your pediatrition.

Well, at three years old, she should be off the bottle.  Try switching her to a sippy cup, and I think that you will find that the fewer bottles she has, the more she will be willing to eat.  Being on the bottle at her age can damage her teeth.  Just be positive with her, "I think you're ready to be a big girl now, aren't you?  But, big girls don't drink from bottles.  They drink from cups."  And show her other ways to be a big girl, like maybe teaching her to write her name, reading, having her own chores, etc.  Make it something fun for her.  (BTW, I know chores don't sound like fun, but toddlers like helping, especially if the job isn't to difficult for them.)

I wouldn't take a darn thing but some saltine crackers. Do not risk any harm to your baby. This will pass once you reach the 3 month mark.

The formula that a baby drinks has alot of vitamins in it. Also there is a common misconception that babies immune systems are weak when in fact they are very strong. The elements of this world are eventually what break down the immune system. Hope you are feeling better!

The American Academy of Pediatrics actually states that "until your baby starts eating solid foods, he'll get all the water he needs from breastmilk or formula."\n\nAfter they are six months old, infants do begin to need some fluoride, and so that is a good time to introduce some extra water into their diet, especially if they are breastfeeding, or simply prepare their iron fortified infant formula with fluoridated tap water.\nBut before six months, the average healthy baby doesn't need any extra water.

Take her to the pediatrician ASAP. This could indicate a serious endochrine problem.

I have been a nanny for years and never had a child starve yet.  In my studies, I have read that a child will never starve themselves, however, I don't think that I would want to be satisfied with that answer if I was the parent.  There could be many reasons why she doesn't eat.  \n\nOne child I worked with had bowel problems.  It hurt her to go to the bathroom and she realized that the more she ate the more it would hurt.  Please have her checked out by a doctor if you haven't already.  \n\nIf it isn't physical, there could be many other factors.  Is she hyper active?  Does she snack often?  Does she sneak food?  Is she easily distracted (more than a normal 3 year old)?  Does she have any other behaviors that are abnormal that could be a symptom?  Is she emotionally disturbed by anything?  Does she seem to be hungry and grouchy or is she normally happy and energetic?  \n\nAnother boy I tended about the same age, had ADD.  He could not sit at the table and eat an entire meal.  I kept healthy snacks at the table for him and he was not allowed to roam around the house with food.  He often like to try to sneak food as well.  His parents also thought he wasn't eating, but when I monitored him, he was definitely getting what he needed.  \n\nAlso, in my experience children who are well nourished have plenty of energy and if they get the appropriate amount of rest are generally healthy and happy.  Those are things to look for with your daughter.  \n\nIs she a picky eater?  Are there lots of foods that she just doesn't like?  Maybe try including her in cooking or gardening.  I know when children take part in the work of cooking and harvesting that they have some kind of connection with the food almost and will be more willing to try it, be curious about how it tastes and enjoy learning where food comes from how it was made etc.  \n\nI would suggest to make sure that you have a regular routine time to eat.  That seems to help a ton.  \n\nThe last tip which always seems to come up is CONSISTANCY.  If you consistantly have the same expectation, communicate that reasonable expectation and consistantly enforce it, you will find success.  \n\nGood luck!

My daughter had this when she was 2.  The numerous blisters in her mouth were horrible.  It hurt her to eat or drink anything even with a straw.  We had to drop water into her mouth with a dropper to keep her from becoming dehydrated.  Anyway, our doctor perscribed something called "magic mouthwash" that we would paint inside her mouth.  I think it was made up of Benedryl and Milk of Magnessia.  It was wonderful stuff -- worked like a charm.  Ask a pharmacist or doctor.  I don't think there was anything else in it, but I'm not sure.\n\nGood luck to you.  I know it can be horrible.  She was sick around 7 days.

Do not give an infant honey or corn syrup\nbecause of the risk of infant botulism. Corn\nsyrup is often given to infants to treat constipation,\nbut this is not recommended because the corn syrup may contain botulinum spores which\ncan lead to infant botulism, a deadly type of food\npoisoning. Yes, this is an "old wives tale" remedy and sometimes works, but is dangerous and bad for the body! Is your baby formula fed? See if she might be allergic to the formula- or she/he may need a no-iron formula- onlt switch with the permission of a pediatrition. Breastmilk is always best- it's not too late to nurse if you're interested!! (www.lalecheleague.org) If not, you should see *why* she's not having regular bowel movements before you try to make her have them. Every baby has their own pattern- it may just be your baby's. Good Luck!

A child should have a BM every day. If you feed her high fiber foods and make sure she has an adequate amount of water everyday, she will become way more regular. Avoid cheeses too.

I have a one year old who has the same teeth, and I have never seen her grind her teeth.  You should ask her doctor if it's normal, and if there is anything you can do to get her to stop.

An hour or two?  Sounds like a friend of mine daughter.  Have you looked into a food allergy?  You don't say how old she is, what she eats, or how much, but I would look into that.\n\nIt turned out that my friends daughter has **ciliac**(spelling may be off) [EDIT: I put crones in there first, my mistake] disease.  She can not eat wheat products (bread, pasta, etc.)

Up to a year, most of the nutrition should be from ideally breastmilk or at least formula.  I wouldn't worry too much for now.  You might try other types of food, but I would stick to the essentials (Gerber stage 3 equivalent if there are a couple of teeth or so.\n\nIf it occurs for too long, talk to your pediatrician about it at the next regular visit.\n\nIf there is any weight loss or any serious concern, go sooner.\n\nGood luck!

Ask the doctor before giving such a thing, I think it is in formula???? if it is, it may be processed differently, stick with the regular diet for a child that age, and when you do start giving this start slowly, a very little at a time.
