Your child do not require any appetite stimulant. He only requires variety of food. Try to feed him from family pot which will be more palatable and acceptable to the child. Take food infront of him an encourage to share the same food from you. Also adding fats like butter oils will increase the energy content as well as taste of the food... Lastly many of these children are iron deficient. Give him Ferium XT drop 0.8 ml once daily for 2 months.
