A. for good Growth of the child it is important that the child should get proper nutritional requirement which is very important for the growing child specially iron and vitamin D is required for better growth and cognition . also there is role of other micronutrients. one should ensure that the child should get a proper balanced diet which contains all types of nutrients essential for growth. any kind of infection specially vb any chronic infection should be ruled out and treated which may hamper the growth otherwise. after 2 years of age you can give some powder like kids Pro/ prohance junior mix in milk twice a day for one or two months.

A. Hi mom. This is due to low appetite. Give natural appetiser like coconut water, jeera water, curd with mint, ajwain water etc to increase the appetite of ur baby. Give variety of food and choices to ur baby as giving same food daily looses baby's interest in eating. Give finger food as self feeding encourages eating. Give food in colourful and attractive animated feeding plates. U can buy #Babyhug feeding bowls and spoon that are attractive and colourful
