A. it is advisable to continue your efforts in feeding the child. many times it take more efforts from the parents to make the child eat nutritious food. so kindly go for different recipes and flavours which might improve the appetite of the child. at the same time it is also importdant to meet your doctor to rule out nutritional deficiency which might be the cause of loss of appetite. give juice fdruits and water which will improve appetite and regular physical activity.

A. That’s a very common thing seen with small kids in this age so nothing to be worried as of now just try to feed different varieties of food to the child that’s going to develop and eat and drink whatever you are offering and that’s going to be probably helping over the passage of time
