Hi
Yes she can have 3-4 meals per day as prescribed by doctor with keeping in mind the quantity of food that she has to take I,e limited portion size of the meal is beneficial and with ideal meal gap of one and half hours to 2 hrs inbetween every meal is fine...basing on the quantity of food she takes...
If she consumes 3-4 meals every day then the quantity of food intake should be less...
Thanks
