Toddler not eating properly. The same.

Temporary food refusals are normal in toddlers if growth is normal otherwise. Should do deworming and provide supplements for short duration.

Greetings At 28 months, a weight of 12kg and height of 90cm are perfectly normal and healthy for twins. Toddlers naturally experience appetite fluctuations as their rapid infant growth begins to taper off. Avoid forcing or pressuring them to eat, as this can create power struggles and mealtime anxiety. Set a predictable daily routine with structured meals and snacks to minimize mindless grazing. Serve small, visually appealing portions of finger foods and allow them to choose how much to eat.

Consult with Pediatrician physically for further evaluation and treatment
