Not eating solids at 1.9 years old
My son started eating solid foods at around 6 months of age, and I breastfed him until he was 1.5 years old. After I stopped breastfeeding, he almost completely switched to drinking milk and has been eating very few solid foods. Whenever he tried eating solids, he would often vomit, so he gradually stopped eating them. My concern is whether he might need an appetite stimulant or any syrup to help increase his appetite, or if there could be another reason for his poor intake. He is currently 83 cm tall and weighs around 12.2–12.5 kg. He is extremely active, very smart, and has no problem running around, climbing up and down the stairs, and playing throughout the day. Could you please advise whether this is normal, whether he needs any tests, or whether there are any treatments or feeding strategies that would help?
Is Sunscreen required?
My 6 year old has started basketball classes after school. It happens from 3 pm to 4 pm (Bangalore). It's not that sunny during this time. We could see that her skin is getting tanned a little day by day. Do we have to apply Sunscreen at this age? Or can we leave it as it is?
