Accepted Answer

we have tried to change his food as well. we make sure it's not a routine food daily. but still, at times, mostly for lunch, he doesn't eat at all or doesn't eat much. any reason you may think of for this please? other meals, like the breakfast, evening snacks and dinner, he eat well. lunch is b coming a daily issue for feeding him.

Accepted Answer

dear parent, gripe water should be avoided. some of them also contain alcohol and opium like substances which are harmful for your baby.

If your child is not sick then the other various reasons for loss of appetite can be that your child is bored of the same type of food. so offer different food groups in the form of interesting recipes.

change in routine  or other stressful event can be another reason. try to make the child as comfortable as possible.
