Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
This is a common problem to all most all parents.
Nothing to worry and at the same time dont force the child for feeds as this will cause vomitings.
Encourage him to eat while playing, group eating and praise him for eating.
Give small quantity feeds at frequent times like 5 to 6 times in a day.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards
