Question
My son 2yrs 6 months old doesn't take his daily meal easily. Nor he is particular about is likes or dislikes about food. Daily I used to feed him forcefully though he is thin(wt approx 10-11 kg) but he is very much active. He never takes his food by his will. I am very much worried about his feeding problem. Please guide me about his normal diet so that my son would not suffer with malnutrition. With kind regards Smt Nimisha Barat
Answer
As long as your child is very active and playful and growing in height, you should not be worried about his weight. Some children may have body constitution that lead to thinner bodies or more fuller. The fact that his height is growing signifies that he is not malnourished. Back to All Questions
