Could be genetic : In any case you can offer her a can or two of pediasure a day or kids essential drinks. Offer her liquids only after she finished her solid food. Avoid little snacks or juices throughout the day since she has a very small appetite.Instead give her something more nutritious.You can also give her some multivitamins
