Toddler having problem eating his food
Hi, My son is 1.3 years old and from past 4 to 5 days he is not eating anything. He only prefers milk and that too he consumes in small quantity. He used to eat sufficiently till now but he just spits everything he eats from past 5 days. Please advice. He is very active and keeps playing throughout the day with 3 to 4 hours of sleep during day but eating is the only problem.

Is he passing stools normally? Iron supplements can help to increase appetite. Try different foods. Decrease milk quantity. Meet your pediatrician to rule out other causes.
