Child Hates Food, Gets Pale. Giving Blood Builders

HELP! I have a 2yrs 6months old son who hates food. He takes a particular food for about 2 times and he never eats it again. Presently,he takes just Cereals in the morning then little or nothing for the rest of the day. I have tried everything but he wouldn't just improve. Every now and then he gets pale and I end up giving him blood builders(drugs). I need your candid advice.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
hi,
children usually have food fads. They only accepts food which they like.
Hence offer foods in which he is interested not those foods which you feel healthy for the child
Do not get annoyed with him if does not take
Please explain him softly with tender loving care.
Offer one food repeatedly even if he does not accept
When he starts accepting it, then offer another food
Do not offer several foods at the same time
Hope this answer serves your purpose
I shall be happy to answer any more queries
Take care
