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 importasnt to meet your doctor to rule out nutritional deficiency which might be the cause of loss of appetite. give juice fruitss and water which will improve appetite and regular physical activity.

A. Hi mom kids are fussy in eating food . Give food in colourful and attractive plates like babyhug plates that attract baby towards food. Give finger food as self feeding encourages eating. Give natural appetizers like coconut water,jeera water ajwain water etc to increase the appetite of your baby
