If you are speaking about a real child then get this child to the emergency department right away. Babies and kids and the elderly can die from this. It can be attributed to a twisted bowel, dysfunctional sphincter, gallstones, gastroenteritis, throat problems, genetic problems, mystery disease, or the child is not able to tolerate food or even to an allergy that has been undiagnosed. Eight month old children do not have the mental capacity to just refuse because they are being bad, childish or silly. So there is a real problem with the child. If the failure to eat and thrive the child will die or suffer severe problems.
