Hi Debbie,
How much milk and other fluids is she presently drinking? Have you noticed an increase in the amount she is drinking?

At 21 lb Paige would need approx 1100 calories per day. Sometimes a child will get all of these calories (but not all the nutrients they need) from milk and juice and therefore don't have much of an appetite left for solid foods.
