Hello, thanks for posting the query to H.CM.C.
You knows that your baby's has silent reflux.

Silent reflux usually happens when a baby is laid down to sleep after they have been fed. this is the main reason for this disease..
1. When a baby gulps its face looks in pain.
2. Baby's breath smells sour.
3 Irritability.
When baby is so irritable , how one can imagine that it will take some thing i.. loss of appetite.
So , if you want to increase the appetite of child first of all treat the silent reflux.
Simple way ---Keep head is elevated so food remains in the somach.
Thickening of food in diet.
Buclizine hydrochloride drops are the drug of choice to increase in appetite.
