At 2 years of age,the weight should be 4 times that of birth weight.
If it's so,relax.
Give just 2 top milk feeds using a glass,stop bottle feeding and breastfeeding if given.
Give 4 solid meals including curd and Banana in the diet in addition to whatever you prepare at home.

Good eating habits is the solution!! Its the quality of food tht matters not the quantity..Gv all kinds of foods, veggies, fruits.Try the family pot method wherein entire family sits and eats together..let the child eat finger foods by herself.Try different tastes.Your child is just fussy and will improve..meanwhile see tht she is does not have any vitamin deficiency or anemia which may need supplements.Do not force feed your child.
