Dear Helen, The first thing that comes to my mind regarding this weight loss is illness - recenlty my breastfeeding toddler (22 mos) was sick for about a week with a fever and a cold, and she lost a few pounds. Here appetite was MARKEDLY decreased for the duration of her sickness. Just thought I would pass this on as one possibility.
