A. Hello, your baby girl is 25 months old and if she doesn’t eat properly then she is likely to have less Hb or worms infestation then deworm her and give her iron drops

A. Zinc helps in building appetite. Wheat bran, cashew nuts, and pumpkin seeds are good for improving the level of zinc in the body. Try incorporating these into your child's meals or snacks. Check with your child's doctor for zinc supplements as well.
