Pediatrician 's  Response
Baby born at 1.8 kg , 8.2 kg at at 16 months is fine. frequent couhs and cold are common at this age . And child remains hungry too long, especially if we leave aside our apprehensions And motivate child to self reliant for her age.
Avoid feeding by your hands. let her eat herself and create mess.
Avoid Force feeding.
Avoid distraction to feed.
Relax, your anxiety shouldn't get transferred to your baby.
