What Causes Lack Of Appetite And Weakness In Children?

Hi, My 2.2yr old daughter is not eating any types of foods. She tells me that she is not at all hungry, if i leave her without feeding till the end of the day, then she ll eat 2 pieces of bread or a little apple. Some days she just stays without eating and at the end of the day she will feel weak and wants to go to bed because of weakness. Her weight is 11kgs (less weight for her age). Please help

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I can understand. But children at this age are always like that. This behavior pattern is general. You can inquire about this in any house hold. From the earlier days itself, mothers complain about this. The best method is always to compel the children to eat well. Use reward/punishment methods to compel them. You have to be a little bit more patient while dealing with the child and do not tire unless you give the child what ever the quota you fix. Don't worry, though, this is not a health hazard.

Good luck. Take care.
