What Causes Refusal Of Solid Foods In Children?
My son is of 1yr 9 months old. Since last 10 days he stopped taking solid foods. For almost 3 days he was taking liquid food and milk. And these days he is taking only Milk and Cerelac. His height is about 85 CM and Weight is 12.8 KG. We consulted Physican about few days back, she suggested not to take any medicine for increasing appetite. We tried many times with different homemade foods, but he is reluctant to open his mouth. Pls help!! What should I do!!

toddlers are known for their picky eating habits. forcing them to eat will just worsen the problem. be patient try offering different food items. make him sit when rest of the family is having meal.
meanwhile do monitor his weight, if that is showing weight loss then he might b started on appetite stimulant medicine. meanwhile start him on multivitamins only
