Kid not eating
My kid is 2 and half yr old. He suddenly stopped eating and when ever try to feed, he eats less quantity as 6 month baby. Before he is was eating normally itself. Suddenly he stoped eating and sometimes eats only chips that he like, but no rice. Please suggest what can be done as he is reducing weight also coz he is very active even though not having food.

Greetings, Please stop serving him Junk food. Chips are junk food.. You have to Train him. Give him systematically Break fast, Mid day, then lunch, then evening some healthy food and dinner, then supper .Nutrition is very important.
