How To Increase The Appetite Of My 3 Year Old Son?
Hi,
my son is 3 yrs old and I feel sometimes his diet is very low. For example, today he did not have his breakfast instead had just a cup of milk. I have tried giving him Cyposure syrup but he gets very sleepy and cranky and hungry. He sleeps without having food and cries while asleep due to hunger. I have stopped giving him this medicine. Is there any appetizer which would atleast make him eat his breakfast, lunch and dinner on time?
height: 100 cms, weight = 13 kgs, age = 3 yrs, birthweight = 1800gms. [I was sufferring from gestationla BP and so his weight gain was less, he was not kept in the incubator though. Otherwise he is very active.]
