Child is not eating
Hi, I have 2.5 yrs girl child. She doesn't eat anything other than ragi malt. Weight is 9kg. If we try to make her eat anything other than ragi malt she will vomit. Could you please tell me some alternatives/suggestions

Hello.. You can make her eat the normal diet what you eat at home but in mashed form...try feeding her fruits like banana and apple... If problem persists consult a paediatrician
