Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
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.

VERY IMPORTANT SUGGESTION -

5. I suggest you not to use appetite stimulants on long run as they may cause drowsiness.

At his age interest in play increases and interest in food decreases. This is quite natural. If he is active and playing around you need not worry. This age rather than the quantity of the food I suggest you concentrate more on the number of times you feed him and also make whatever you feed him calorie dense by adding good amount of ghee to it.

Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.

Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
The weight of your child is within the normal range for his age. I would suggest you let his appetite guide his feeding. Iron supplementation may help.
It is not hunger which wakes up your child in the night. He may have difficulty in the sleep induction which may lead to frequent waking in the night. I would suggest you to use sleep induction methods like patting his back so that these can be used when he wakes up in the night.
I hope I have helped you.
Thank you
