A. At 2.5 years old, a toddler's growth slows down so their appetite naturally drops. Instead of forcing them to eat large meals, offer small portions every 2 to 3 hours, boost their calories by adding ghee or butter to their food, and avoid giving them milk or juice right before meals so they feel genuinely hungry🦋✨️

A. Please don't force your baby to have food. At times, He/ is really hungry and craving for food. just feed him/her at the time. Have some patience and follow your baby needs at that time. Be specific about food quality and try to mix up with equivalent nutrients.

A. Give small meals 5–6 times a day. Don't force the child to eat. Offer fruits, vegetables, milk, and healthy snacks. Let the child play and be active to increase appetite. If poor eating continues or weight is not increasing, consult a doctor.
