Hello dear

Welcome to Health care magic family .
I have evaluated your query in depth .

@ Sorry to say but this is not appetite loss , but rather delayed starting
of giving other items than milk .
@ Ideally this should be started at the age of 6 - 8 months stage so
that by 16 months , child is on lot many items .

@ Requires proper training with tender care rather than medicines .
@ Suggestions for better outcome

- Be a child with him to make him convince the things .
- Give different items as lemon juice , home made juices , rice , fresh
curd with slight sugar to make it tasty .
- Adopt system of rewards as if he eats something , you make him
to give new toy or his likely thing like that .
- Avoid all chocolates , biscuits , cookies , junk foods .
- Check that he chews thoroughly .

Hope this will help you .
Always feel free to ask further doubts .

Thanks for kind evaluation of my answer .
Regards dear .
