Pediatrician 's  Response
A weight of 10 kg at 2 year old girl is just fine. if child is active there is no need to stimulate appetite artificially. Make sure is is playing a lot ,also avoid snacks, icecream, chocolates etc as it kills appetite. Ensure regular family diet at same time as rest of the family, same time ,similar utinsals and maintain a happy zone.
Absolutely avoid Force or distraction while feeding.
