Firstly you have to give 4 or 5 meals a day.Avoid feeding 2 hourly or giving liquids snacks or chocolate in between meals.See that you include Leafy vegetables fruits regularly. Also protein intake should be increased.AVOID forced feeding or nagging or running behind the child for food.Appetizers are going to help you for short time but will not resolve the situation
Next Steps
please consult paediatrician for further counselling and advice

You have not mentioned weight and height . So I’m presuming it is below the expected weight and height for that age. Decreased hunger can be due to over feeding , constant nagging by care giver, constipation , and due to boredom because of decreased variety of food made at home.
Next Steps
Protein intake in food increases weight of a child.Ghee, fruits like banana and mangoes , eggs , milk , protein powders can be added to milk .
Health Tips
Natural appetite increasing syrups are available in the market and can be given for 15 days . But these are not permanent solutions
