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.g Supplements like iron supplements and multivitamin with lysine like syp zinncovit CL can be given for 1-2 months to increase the appetite. Diet counselling is also very important .

A. Hello dear parent! Gradually introduce all food groups in your child’s diet that is healthy and common in your family. Include seasonal fruits and vegetables, green leafy vegetables, nuts, dry fruit, fruits and dairy in your child’s diet. Serve your child with healthy home-made foods in cute Babyhug bowls to encourage healthy eating
