Question

Accepted Answer

hi
as kids grow they gain their self identity and have their own likes and dislikes.
so it is common problem among them
but don't worry as their likes and dislikes change over period naturally.
just keep offering different dishes with different taste and different texture.
make food presentation attractive
for example
offer chapati in different shapes like star heart smiles etc using shape cutter.
it will help to encourage your child to take interest in food.
try to make your child sit to take meal with whole family because children learn more from imitating their parents.

Answer

all babies are different so they have their own specific sleep and feeding patterns.
so if your child looks happy and active , gains enough weight then no need to worry.
just follow early mentioned points.
give Massage to your child daily.
encourage your child to do more physical activities.
you can give very tiny piece of ginger with pinch of salt and few drops of lemon juice daily before one hour of meal.
it will help to increase your child appetite
