Hi, my 2 yrs old daughter's weight is not as per the age. And she is very poor in eating. She just take 1-2 bites and than refuses. Please suggest how and what to make her eat?

Do you still give her fortified milk? Do you give her multivitamins? These can help supplement the vitamins and nutrients she's missing out on. Also, giving her a variety of food may help. Feed her small portions frequently - instead of 3 main meals with snacks in between, give her maybe 5 small meals with small snacks in between. A 2-year-old needs about 1000 calories a day. So just make sure to spread the calories out. If she eats only 2 bites, then give her another 2 bites an hour later. I hope this helps, mummy

Hi Carla, Thanks for your suggestions. I will surely take this up. And yes I have started multivitamin now. As her height and weight was not as per her age.
