Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Can you let me know his height and weight?
At this age most of the kids should eat well by themselves.
If not try multivitamin and iron supplements.
Also deworm with albendazole atleast once in six months to clear any worms in the gut which could cause loss of appetite.
If nothing works get him checked by your pediatrician to look for signs of any deficiencies or subtle illness.
Wishing your child good health
Get back with height and weight.
