A. it is very important to meet your doctor to confirm whether the weight and height of the child is within normal limits or not and to know if child is suffering from any nutritional deficiency because that can lead to loss of appetite. offer different recipes and flavours made from cereals pulses vegetable milk and fruits daily to improve the weight and height of the child give plenty of water to drink and juizce extracted from fruits which acts as natural appetizer if the child is not allergic then you can add dry fruit powder zas well as ghee to the diet which will help in improving the calorie and protein in the diet. go through different diet plan as well as recipes which is present in firstcry application.

A. Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much and as baby was premature then better to ask your treating doctor for food supplements and vitamins and also add one egg and chicken soup in baby diet and give baby all home made food too. Take care
