A. dear mum, weight of 13.5 kg is not a low weight for 4 years old baby girl. many babies are fussy eaters at this age and until 5 -6 years. you have to be patient and keep trying. try to give different shapes, colour and texture of foods, so that baby gets the interest. encourage feeding by self and along with the family. do not give fries frequently. fried foods are unhealthy and also reduces the appetite for other foods. do not force feed, it creates a negative relationship with food. don't be pushy but be gently encouraging remember it's a phase it will pass.
