Hi...This is a very common problem in kids who have been force fed. When we force feed the kids develop an aversion towards food and this is the reason why they vomit at the sight of food being prepared or being taken to them. They will even go the extent of putting fingers in mouth or cough and vomit when they are being fed. The best solution is - 1. Change the person who is feeding the kid. 2. Do not force feed. Suggestions - I take this opportunity to tell you certain scientific facts and relieve your distress - 1. An active is a well kid even if she/ he is not eating well. 2. Development of a kid is as important as or I would say even more important than growth alone. 3. As the kids grow their interest in food decreases and interest in play activities increases so that they eat small quantity and run away to play. As parents we need to be more patient and feed than less quantity but more aliquots per day. 4. This age rather than the quantity of the food I suggest you concentrate more on the number of times you feed her and also make whatever you feed her calorie dense by adding good amount of ghee to it. 5. I suggest you not to use appetite stimulants on long run as they may cause drowsiness. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
