Poor appetite in children is quite common and often not serious if the child is otherwise active and growing, so force-feeding should be avoided as it can create long-term food aversion. Instead, offer small, frequent meals with a variety of nutritious foods, allow the child to eat at their own pace, and make mealtimes relaxed and distraction-free. Ensure a balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, proteins, and healthy snacks, and limit junk foods or excessive milk that may reduce hunger. Sometimes, factors like minor infections, teething, or deficiencies such as Iron Deficiency can affect appetite, so if poor eating persists, growth seems slow, or there are symptoms like weakness or frequent illness, it is important to consult a paediatrician for evaluation and guidance. With patience and healthy feeding habits, most children improve over time.
