POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy9 months agoA. To increase a 6-year-old boy’s appetite, start by establishing a regular meal and snack schedule to train his body to feel hungry at specific times. Offer smaller, frequent meals with nutrient-dense foods that are easy to eat and appealing. Include a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, proteins, and healthy fats to make meals balanced. Avoid giving milk, juices, or snacks like chips and sweets close to meal times, as these can reduce appetite. Encourage physical activity, as it naturally boosts hunger, and ensure he stays hydrated. You can also include appetite-boosting foods like yogurt, bananas, and nuts, or prepare dishes with mild spices like cumin or fennel, which aid digestion and improve appetite. Avoid pressuring him to eat, as this can create negative associations with food. If his appetite remains low for an extended period, consult a pediatrician to rule out any underlying health issues, such as nutritional deficiencies or gastrointestinal problems.
