My 6yo daughter is a very fuzzy and extremely slow eater. She dont want to try anything. She ask for something and dont eat it when given. She is suffering from calcium and vitamin D3 deficiency and is taking medicines for that. She has developed white patches specifically on her face. I'm very worried what should i do?

Hi, I think you should talk to her doctor and consider giving her some syrup that increases appetite. And I suggest, find different ways to feed her. Engage her in some play and while playing feed her simultaneously. Try new recipes. Before feeding do not ask will you eat this or that. Plate the food in an attractive manner and do not give her choice. Do let her eat baby with her own pace but also do not that time stretch beyond half an hour as by that time food also becomes cold, messy and the kid throws more tantrums in eating. It is better to pick up the food and say after two hours give her something else to eat. Don't always be after the baby with the food plate. Feed her when she is hungry. Apart from giving medicine for Vitamin D deficiency, you can also take the baby in the Sun in the morning time or around 3.30 to 5 in the evening. http://www.webmd.com/parenting/baby/picky-eater#2 http://raisingchildren.net.au/articles/fussy_eating.html https://www.theguardian.com/science/2016/oct/14/is-your-child-a-fussy-eater-the-reason-could-be-in-their-genes
