Baby appetite lost. Do is roam around?

Hello ! There is no reason to worry at present as toddlers tend to be picky eaters . But there are some tips that can help increase your child’s appetite gradually .

1. Make your child drink water regularly, as it will keep him hydrated and also improve digestion by activating digestive enzymes and juices . 2. Smaller meals : instead of 3 regular portions of food , try to give smaller portions and also add snacks like fruits or nuts in between the meals . 3. Include zinc : zinc is an essential mineral that boosts appetite in children . Some food sources of zinc that you can include in the diet are : nuts , beans , spinach , mushrooms . 4 . Include iron : it has been found in several studies that one in eight toddlers tend to be anemic before the age of two years . Include eggs, spinach, lentils in the diet. 5. Fruit based Desserts ! : in the toddler phase , the taste that Is preferred most by babies is sweet ! So fruit based desserts ( with addition of apple / banana /grapes ) can really soothe the taste buds of your child .please AVOID processed sugars . 6. Exploration : set up cooking activities for your child, like a simulation kitchen set , kids are more likely to enjoy food and get curious to try new foods when they feel involved in the cooking process . 7 . If deworming with Albendazole syrup has not been done even once , give your child a single dose of syrup zentel 5 ml .

Feel free to share any further doubts . Hope this helps ! Regards Dr Nitika Maheshwari
