Son is not taking solid food

2024-08-25 07:08:03
My son(2yrs) drinks milk 250 ml at 6:30 am , wakes up at 9:30 am , then we wait for him for eating solids but he never prefers eating anything solid except for milk . If we dont give milk , he can stay empty stomach for 7-8 hrs but he doesnt eat anything . We are really worried as to how to start giving him solids . Tried many appetite increasing medicines and deworming medicine in homeopathy but no result till now . Right now he is taking alfalfa syrup thrice a day . kindly suggest what should we do .

Make the food more interesting. You can use multicoloured utensils and different shapes. Introduce foods of various texture such as purées, raw vegetables. Try a new recipe everyday to see what he actually likes. Let the child play with food and eat while playing.
