Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, My daughter is 20 months and has been fussy eater. She eats only chapatti (stuffed with dal), rice (simple boiled rice), egg, cheese and French fries. No top feed only mine. She has no interest in foods and have to struggle a lot to feed her. Her every meal takes me 1 and 1.5 hour. And now since 3-4 days she has stopped taking everything. I am really worried. Please advice.
Hi...I take this opportunity to tell you certain scientific facts and relieve your distress - An active is a well kid even if she is not eating well. Development of a kid is as important as or I would say even more important than growth alone. 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. 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. I suggest you not to use appetite stimulants on long run as they may cause drowsiness.
Hope my answer was helpful for you and if so kindly rate it. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. Wish your kid good health. Dr. Sumanth MBBS., DCH., DNB (Paed).,
