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 important to meet your doctor to rule out nutritional deficiency which might be the cause of loss of appetite. Give juice fruits and water which will improve appetite and regular physical activity. take care and keep up your efforts

A. Hello dear parent! Loss of appetite, poor weight gain often indicates vitamin deficiency in your child. Get your child personally examined by your doctor and seek further advice. Include all food groups in your child’s diet that is staple in your family. Good luck and take care.
