Hi,
If she has very poor appetite, it is better to rule out anemia by doing her hemoglobin level. This will respond well to iron supplements. If not anaemic, just ensure a healthy diet. Avoid tea / coffee / caffeinated items as these might decrease appetite. Include lot of fruits and green leafy vegetables in diet. Take protein rich items like curd, pulses, fish, meat in diet.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
