Given his birth weight, the current weight is very good for his age.
First of all, please do not stress too much about how much he is eating and avoid force feeding him. This will only make things worse.
Keep offering him small amounts of food and eat all together as a family so that he could see others eating as well. This will help him develop interest in the food.
Keep an eye on his weight every 2 weeks, if he is steadily putting on weight, no need to worry.
No need for Vitamin syrups if his Hb and other tests are normal.
Remember FORCE FEEDING reinforces fussy eating. Let him eat as much as he wants.
if any medical concerns, please see a qualified Paediatrician
try to feed with family and other kids in family. give some food to him also , because appetite is there but kids are not trand. offer only 7 ounce of milk.some time more milk skip demand
