Guardian of a 2 yr 9 m old boy1 Year ago

Q.

#asktheexpert My son is 1 year 9 months old and weighs 8.6kg. He is very active but eats very little. He always wants to be breastfeed. I tried every possible way to improve his appetite but everything went in vain. How can I improve his appetite and weight.

A. Your child is approximately 4 kg under weight I would suggest you to stop breastfeeding now because if your child is still taking more the breastfeeding then that wouldn’t be good and try to increase the appetite by starting to give it an iron supplement that will help in meeting up the deficiencies and will help in increasing the appetite as well
