What Is The Treatment To Increase Appetite In Children ?
Good afternoon moms, my sweet girl is turning 6months on 30th May, 2014 but the problem is she has a very low appetite and we just force her to take milk(from the bottle)...when am around she dishes the bottle business and sticks on breast milk which i feel is not enough for her. she weighs only 6.7kgs. What should i do increase her appetite...feeling so depressed coz i want her to plump up?

Hi dear
welcome to the HCM
For 6 month old baby 6.7 kg is the weight is perfect.
It means what ever nutritional requirements are there she is perfectly getting from the feed. It also means that her appetite is ok for her age.
What we are forcing her extra she is refusing.
Please avoid overzealous feed other wise she will learn NO TO FEED then it will be difficult to feed her.
Do not be depressed.Be happy.
Hope the query is answered.
Thanks
