There are many health tonics which you can give your kid to increase her apatite. But certainly consult your kids doc first... U cn also try our new recipes which will catch her attention and she ll end up eating thm...i m sure u cook very tasty food but may be she wants something different to eat.. I can suggest you a book smoothies n juices wherein there are a number of recipes on them.. and u cn get it sitting at home frm babeezworld..i feel if u start with juices it ll be sumthing diff n she ll also get the required nutients :) nkk replied.

Hi, I faced the same prob with my 5 yr old daughter then, the trick is to develop their interest in the food. and dont make eating as their priority but play some game like peek-a-boo and everytime they find u, feed them. Else u can ask any friend of urs who has a baby of similar age or slightly older but not a fussy eater to join u for lunch. Children learn faster by observing other children. The later trick has worked for my 14 month old son who (touchwood)eats well observing his sis, I make them both eat together or best I ask her only to feed him.One more thing, once ur kid gets slightly older involve him in the kitchen work,like beating eggs or chopping coriander leaves with hands, washing rice..etc... in this way it' ll not only help his motor skills but also spend some quality time with you.Let me know if u were successful with any of these tips.... And last but not the least.... PLS DO NOT GIV ANY UNHEALTHY MID SNACKS instead give fruits if needed. bestmom replied. try to feed him in intervals and also start giving him multivitamin/mutimineral food supplement drink so that you don' t have to worry about his nutritional intake & growth. if you need more info, let me know rains replied. hi,
I have already tried that multiple times. he does not open his mouth only. I even try to go down. or move in my balcony just to persuade him to eat. but in vain. :(
