Hi,
Thanks and welcome to HCM .
Usually the children of that age create problems for eating.
The only solution is to behave as you are unconcerned.
At regular intervals offer what you want to offer keeping in your mind the tastes and preferences of your child.
Appreciate if he accepts. Do not scold if he does not.
Spend more time for feeding with tender loving care
Tell some stories or sing songs while feeding and make it a pleasant experience .
still if you feel that he is not eating enough give Coplete PD syrup 5 ml daily to supplement nutrition .
Hope this reply is OK for you.
Further queries invited.
