Growth rate becomes less after 2 years of age. So they require less energy and eat less. If the child is active and playful, there is nothing to worry about. Visit your pediatrician for weight, height, head size and development check every 3 months at least.

For child there is universal feeding practice after 2 year "everyday try a new dish" you will make a lot but child will eat small. It's the time child taste everything. Sometime he will spit out again feed. Everytime add special in plate... Milk part should be less than 1/3rd of plate and increase legume, green vegetables, suji, idli, and healthy things.
Next Steps
very tough not only feeding practices but also toilet training...
Health Tips
Make a Plat, child will eat only Few part of plate,,, but you have to continue to feed everyday new,,, it's not refusal by child, child accept these things after some time. and avoid JUNCS, Junc food, Unhealthy things, non nutrition things, carbonated beverage, Sugar (highly) contain beverages.
