Hello,
I just read your query. As your baby has been suffering with flu and in flu babies usually has loss of appetite and sometimes bad taste too. So give your child liquid and semi solid food and encourage your baby to have that.
* If she is not willing to take milk then give her other choices like juice, soups etc.
* Flu may take 5 to 7 days for complets recovery. Till then be patient and keep on giving different things.
* I hope you find my answer helpful.
Thank you.
