Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
At this age children are more interested to play.
she should be fed with patience and tender loving care.
Feed what the child likes and do not force her to eat what you feel good for the child.
If you like you may add some liver tonic to improve the appetite.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose

Take care
