Hi kamalini,,, praveen's mobile broken by his lovely daughter &#128528; so this is his reply- Between one and five years old, it's normal for a toddler's appetite to slow down. It will probably seem like your child doesn't eat enough, is never hungry, or won't eat unless you spoon-feed them yourself. The good news is as long as your child's energy level is normal and they are growing well, your child's appetite is most likely naturally slowing down.;Babies gain an average of 6 to 7 kgs during their first year. Between ages one and five, the toddler and preschool years, children normally gain only 2 to 4 kgs a year. Children in this age range can normally go three or four months without any weight gain. Because they're not growing as fast, they need fewer calories, and they seem to have a poorer appetite. This is called physiological anorexia. How much a child chooses to eat is controlled by the appetite center in the brain. Kids eat as much as they need for growth and energy. Many parents try to force their child to eat more than they need because they worry that their child's poor appetite might cause them to get sick or develop a vitamin deficiency. This is not true and forced feedings actually decrease a child's appetite by making mealtime more of a punishment for your child. Your child's appetite will improve when they become older and need to eat more, usually right around 2 or 3 months.. First, trust your child. Children eat as much as they need. Your child's brain will make sure that they eat enough calories for normal energy and growth. Serve healthy meals and snacks. If your child is hungry, they will eat. If they are not, they might be fine by the next meal. Even reminding them to eat or to eat more will backfire. Limit milk to less than 400 to 450ml a day. Milk contains as many calories as most solid foods. Drinking too much milk or juice can fill kids up and then they're not hungry for anything to eat. The main way to prevent feeding struggles is to teach your child how to feed themselves. Let your child pace their feedings. Remember, your child will survive this toddler appetite, picky-eating slump. They are doing what their body does naturally. Don't turn it into a power struggle that you just can't win.
