Toddler not eating

2025-05-01 14:19:41
Hi Doctor, My son is around 2.6 years old he won't have rice or eat anything properly he just takes one or two bites of dosa, two bites of chapathi something like that but never have a proper meal. This is happening from many months I have consulted many doctors but no proper solution. He will be active and his weight is 11.8 kg. I am literally worried and not able to find any solution to this problem. Just FYI he drinks 100 or 120 ml of buffalo milk per day that too depending on his interest. Please help me out.

Offer small frequent meals, not force-fed. Limit milk to under 500 ml/day; buffalo milk is heavy—consider switching to cow’s milk if tolerated. Maintain a mealtime routine, same place and time daily. Let child self-feed to encourage interest. Avoid high-pressure feeding.
