Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hello doctor, my son will be two next week, he's not eating any other food except cereal,oat,custard all with milk atleast 4 times a day.He loves fruit juice too but I'm worried because he will start school soon. I'm also giving him multivitamin once a day to let him eat more please what can I do to make him eat our regular food? Though he's healthy but is he getting enough nutrients for better growth? Thanks
Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. I take this opportunity to tell you certain scientific facts and relieve your distress - 1. An active is a well kid even if she/ he is not eating well. 2. Development of a kid is as important as or I would say even more important than growth alone. 3. As the kids grow their interest in food decreases and interest in play activities increases so that they eat small quantity and run away to play. As parents we need to be more patient and feed than less quantity but more aliquots per day. 4. This age rather than the quantity of the food I suggest you concentrate more on the number of times you feed her and also make whatever you feed her calorie dense by adding good amount of ghee to it. 5. I suggest you not to use appetite stimulants on long run as they may cause drowsiness. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
