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 importacnt to meet your doctor to rule out nutritional deficiency which might be the cause of loss of appetite. c Give juice fruits and water which will improve appetite and regular physical activity.

A. hi if your child milk intake is more than 500 ml then you should limit it. give different taste exposures. serve food in different shapes or different color it may help.
