Do not force feed your child.
If your child is upto 10 kgs , donot worry about being under weight if other parameters and activity are sound .
Let the child feel the hunger signals.
Deworm your child every 6 months.
Also get her checked from paediatric gastroenterologist if you feel she does not swallow properly or cough often.
Next Steps
Give her small frequent meals instead of forcing her to complete the whole meal at one go.
