A. dear parent, it is absolutely normal to feed your 17 months old baby. however, maintain proper gap between meals and breast milk. give 4 to 5 meals in a day and breastfeed in between.

A. hi yes , it should be reason which lead to low appetite so first I advise to understand your child hunger cues and feeding patterns then try to give food before your child asks for feeding. initially , encourage your child by giving food as per his taste
