What Causes Low Appetite In A 1 Year Old?
Good Afternoon Doctor, I am Jiya. My kid( 1 and 1/2 year old) is not taking any food. While feeding him he started crying, And if we are not feeding then he is ok. We started aptivate from Tuesday before meal but its also not working. We are forcefully feeding him. Please advice what to do.

Hi.. in this age group rather than quantity of food they eat, what is more important is the activity and development and weight of the kid. Moreover at this age the interest in play activities increase and take precedence over the food. So do not worry. There is not scientific basis in using appetite stimulants....I SUGGEST YOU NOT TO USE ANY APPETITE STIMULANTS AS THEY MAY MAKE THE KID DROWSY.
