Children of this age group are difficult to feed. So try to enrich every food items he is taking with butter ghee oils. As the fat content of the food increases, even small amount of feed carries good calorie. Also try to give him food from family pot, children prefer tasty food not the bland smashed boiled things.Give her syr Cypon 3 ml once daily for 15 days. it will increase appetite.
