Concerning...: I would be concerned that your child could be getting dehydrated. Has the child stopped making wet diapers? Fever? Respiratory symptoms? Vomiting or diarrhea? A child this young who has stopped feeding and is more sleepy should get evaluated by her doctor now. It might be nothing, but you need to be more aggressive in evaluating for problems given this age.
