Normal toddler slump: Toddlers will frequently have times when there appetites will diminish. As long as your child is healthy and growing, it is nothing to worry about. Here is more information: http://www.childrenshealthnetwork.org/CRS/CRS/pa_bappetit_hhg.htm

Yes: The question is really why she stopped eating solid foods? Does she have pain in her mouth, perhaps teething. If it is just a preference thing, there is no reason you cant give her back her baby foods with intermittent regular table foods.

Reintroduce: Children this age often will need to be introduced to foods several times, and it is not uncommon to have this happen. I would suggest slowly reintroducing the foods again.
