How To Increase Appetite Of Toddlers?

Hi Doc. My baby is 1 year & 5 months. The area of concern about her is she refuses to eat. He is generally never hungry.No matter however tasty the food is made, she will taste once but thenafter she will refuse to have it. But she is fully energetic with God s grace. She can convey all her ideas. I am trying out for long hours to feed her but to my greatest disappointment, I am failing in all efforts. She was born 1 kg 800 gms ( One month prior to due date). Now at the age of 1 year 5 months, she is only 7 kgs 200 gms. Last month there was even a drop of 200 gms in her weight. I dont want my baby to be plumpy, but I want her to be healthy & look healthy as well. I am worried as I dont know how long she will be able to sustain with so less food intake. Please help me as to how to deal with this crisis. Thanks & regards S. Dutta

Hi,

Seeing her birth weight, her present weight is not too low. If there is weight loss without a reason like fever episode, we need to look for causes like anemia for your doctor will guide you.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
