Dear Patient,

It's alright, you will have to be patient with kids and introduce one type of food per week for kids this age. When did you start weaning? We recommend weaning at 6months only. It's a new concept for kids and their reluctance is understandable. Most nutrition for kids under the age of 1 is covered by milk. Before this age food is just to introduce the concept of eating for kids. Of course if over tim the child doesn't get used to eating and loses weight then this is upsetting but key is to introduce limited options and to be patient & persistent, let your child go hungry at the fixed mealtime and do not give more options or milk at that time. This will help. Also some kids lose appetite during teething. Try single food purees first.

For further consultation, you can choose from our list of best Pediatricians in Lahore and seek in-person advice.
