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?

Hi Arwa i can also relate to your worry as a mom as I had the same issue with both my kids. I tried many ways, and what helped me was the way Carla mentioned - to break up the meals into multiple small ones, instead of 3 big ones. for instance, when she wakes up, you can give her 1 or 2 almonds and kishmish, or maybe a few bites of a fruit, such as a banana. don't stress on a full breakfast immediately. later, give her few bites of a stuffed paratha, or maybe a few spoons of dal rice or something like that. try feeding her foods in smaller bites and portions so that she does not feel you are making her sit down and eat a lot. if she refuses to eat, you can also try giving her fresh homemade juices, smoothies and such, and add variation. also, since my kids loved colouring and such activities, i would sit with them and feed them even as they coloured, or while i would read books to them. i gave them a small bite, read the page, asked them to finish the bite and then quickly turn the page. you will have to keep trying new ways to keep her interested and also eat in between. all the best
