Also please check whether you are giving him too much milk.
When my son was around this age, the same thing happened and his peadiatrician advised us to cut down his milk consumption and then he became alright.

probably there would be worms in the baby stomach. no need to worry about worms. its a very common thing in child. So may be consult a doctor and take the necessary advise.

Hi Anusai,
If your son had been eating properly in the past and if his appetite has reduced only in the recent days, then you can consider giving him a dose for deworming. Please consult your doc for the same.

Don't worry anusai. most of the kids are so. One of my friend's daughter who is 5years old is very fussy eater. Have parents major task is to feed her as she doesn't even drink milk and takes almost an 1 hrs to finish a cup.

Just ensure that your son is active and avoid junk food.try making different varity. I had introduced all the veg and non-veg iteam to my son,before the age of 1 itself. I used to give him nutritional food in different forms( varieties). He is a food lover now and being 5 now, he like home food then hotel ones.

Have patience.Try to enjoy his childhood then becoming depressed on his eating habit. Once he grows and when his body requires, you will not be able to control him eating. Just stop making fuss on his food and make him realize that what hunger is.He knows now quiet well that you are there for him to keep his stomach filled for hours together by feeding him for almost 2 hrs. Hunger will make him come you for food.Make him play outside games a lot this will make his metabolism work fast and make him hungry.

hello.. the same happened to my son too.. in around 3 yrs and he is now 3.5 yrs old. as per my knowledge his growth has been improving and we need more patience to take care of the kid..the 2hrs of giving food is nowadays become commom and even my kid did the same.. and just give him whatever he likes which is appropriate for his age..like dry fruits, fruits like watermelon, grapes (kids likes it mostly), hope your'e giving milk products like pediasure(i used to give) or horlicks or someother healthy drinks..so that it will equalize the diet for the kid even if he is not like to have foods..our mind set will become our kids life.. if our mind set is clear then there will be no issues. this age is the one the kid will do what exactly we do, so we need to concentrate on that. ex. in age 1.5 to 2 yrs, my kid used to eat 3 idlies as breakfast, 1.5 cup of rice in lunch and night had 1 chapati. in 3.5 yrs, he is having 2 idles as bf, one cup of rice lunch, and 2 chapati in diner.. and we should not force the kid to eat, if we force that will end up with vomit.. so hope my thing is clear. ur thoughts if i am wrong
