A. Good Growth of the child is very important and for this most important is that child should take a healthy diet where its necessary to give a balance diet which should contain all the nutrition required. This is very important for building the immunity also. Encourage for green vegetables fruits dairy products all kinds of dal and other protein containing food items like soyabean eggs etc. Some nutritional deficiencies can be a cause for less appetite like iron deficiency which is most common. Supplements like iron supplements and multivditamin with hulysine like syp zincovit CL can be given for 1-2 months to increase the appetite. Diet counselling is also very important .

See every child has its own jeans and genetics and the height increases on that basis only if you feel your child is not gaining appropriately according to the age then you should get a check with your doctor as it could be due to nutritional deficiency so just get the check to be more sure about itWrite Your Answer Here
