A. If your child is alert, active. Growth is well within normal parameters, than not much to worry about it. Toddlers are fussy or picky eaters. They will go through phases, sometimes they eat good n sometime reduces. try offering him variety of new foods. Try changing the food taste. Still no output you can also try deworming. If ur toddler is lethargic, dull you need to consult the doctor.

A. Hello dear parent! Involve your child in family meals to encourage healthy eating by looking at family members. Serve foods in cute Babyhug stainless steel bowls and plates. Be patient and persistent in your efforts. If loss of appetite continues further then consult your child’s doctor for advice on vitamin deficiency. Good luck and take care;

Q. My daughter is 2 years 10 months old & she doesn’t eat any vegetables & fruits. How do I make her eat veggies & fruits? Till she turned 1 year old, she used to have veggie purée & kichdi with veggies. But after that she stopped eating. She only eats rice with ghee, chapathi with ghee & dosa with ghee. Sometimes she’ll have dal without chillies with rice & ghee. I make veggies purée & mix it with chapathi dough & dosa batter. In dry fruits, she occasionally likes cashew & badam. She doesn’t like new foods. Help me to make my daughter eat vegetables & fruits.
