A. Good Growth of the child is very important and for this most important is that child should take a healthy diet where its necessary to give a balance diet which should contain all the nutrition required. This is very important for building the immunity also. Encourage for green vegetables fruits dairy products all kinds of dal and other protein containing food items like soyabean eggs etc. Some nutritional deficiencies can be a cause for less appetite like iron deficiency which is most common. Supplements lifke iron supplements and multivitamin with lysine like syp zincovit CL can be given for 1-2 mgonths to increase the appetite. Diet counselling is also very important .

A. Hello dear parent! Loss of appetite can often indicate vitamin and nutritional deficiency. Consult your child’s doctor for evaluation and seek further advice. Serve healthy foods in cute Babyhug stainless steel bowls and plates to encourage healthy eating. Good luck and take care.
