A. There are no medications which will improve the hunger of the baby and even if something like that is available it is advisable to not give in the first place. Try different consistency of the food and preferably give relatively bland diet and breakfast foods as that easily acceptable with the baby. Fruit juices are a good additionWrite Your Answer Here
