A. It's common for toddlers around 2 years old to have reduced appetite, especially when they are not feeling well due to cold and cough. Illness can affect their taste, energy levels, and willingness to eat. During this time, focus on offering light, easily digestible, and nutritious foods like warm soups, mashed fruits (like banana or apple), soft khichdi, dal water, or porridge. Offer small portions more frequently rather than forcing large meals. Keep her well-hydrated with warm water, breast milk, or suitable fluids. You can also use saline nasal drops to ease nasal congestion and consult a pediatrician for appropriate cold and cough medicine. Once she starts feeling better, her appetite should improve. Be patient and avoid pressuring her to eat; gentle encouragement and a calm feeding environment help.
