Asking for Other, Male, 1.3 years old, Faisalabad
My son is 1.3 years old. His weight is only 8.5 kg. His diet include cow milk, cerelac, banana date smoothie, guava, khichri with vegetables and sometimes lentils, shami kabab, home made yogurt, porridge but in very less quantity like 2 to 3 tablespoon hardly. He is also on pre molar stage.what to do to increase his appetite . since a week he is also passing yellow and green coloured stool, 4 to 5 times a day. With very bad smell. Is it something to worry about?
Might be having anemia of variou origin. With this appetite he must have a good weight to hight ratio, which means there is some underlying cause which needs to be treated first. Iron syrups or appetite syrup will only work after the underlying causes are diagnosed.
For consultation book your Appointment with me.

You can book an appointment for proper counselling . May b his appetite is due to iron deficiency. Kindly consult him properly.
you should observe the growth pattern if he is gaining weight smoothly and if he is actively participating in some kind of physical activity then no need to worry about it, give more variety in food as infants usually get tired quickly from one kind of food further you can book an appointment for a complete plan.
you should go for intolerance test if he passes stool right after taking milk..
Also add boiled egg to diet Milk only night time . In day focus on feeding him semi solids and solid fruits....
