Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Nursing the baby at 22 months age is not advisable.
It is time to feed him with different solid foods for better growth and gain in weight.
Take more time for feeding,tell him stories ,sing songs and persuade him to eat with tender loving care.
A liver tonic like Liv-52 may improve appetite.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
