POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy5 months agoA. It's common for toddlers to have a decreased appetite, but here are some ways to encourage your 3-year-3-month-old to eat better:
1. Make Mealtime Fun Serve food in interesting shapes (using cookie cutters). Use colorful plates and cutlery. Create a story around food (e.g., "These are superhero carrots!"). 2. Offer Small Portions Frequently Instead of three big meals, try offering 5-6 small meals. Let your child ask for more instead of forcing a full plate. 3. Avoid Force-Feeding Pressuring your child can lead to food aversion. Let them eat as much as they want, but ensure they sit for meals. 4. Include Their Favorite Foods If they like certain foods, modify them for better nutrition. Example: If they love pancakes, make banana or ragi pancakes. 5. Offer Variety & Texture Some kids prefer crunchy foods, while others like soft textures. Try different cooking styles (steamed, roasted, mashed, or finger foods). 6. Limit Distractions Avoid TV, mobile, or toys during meals. Create a calm, family mealtime routine. 7. Involve Them in Cooking Let them help in washing veggies, mixing, or serving. When kids participate, they often eat better. 8. Check for Nutrient Deficiencies Poor appetite can be linked to iron or zinc deficiency. If your child is extremely fussy, consider consulting a pediatrician.
