How do I increase my toddler's appetite? He is 22 Months old, Active and healthy, but is not putting on weight.
He does not have a healthy appetite, and refuses to eat more than a few mouthfuls every day.

I guess he is teething. So do not worry. All Kids go through this phase. Try soft foods that do not hurt his gums.

my son was just the same. my sons back teeth were coming through when he decided not too eat.so look here first before worrying too much.i find kids will eat when THEY WANT TO!You can`t force them.Sometimes put things like lumps of cheese.meat,raw carrot near where he plays and maybe he might take a nibble.!!don't worry too much this is only a stage he is going through.all mums will say the same .been there done that.
good luck with the little man!

I assume you were given a health book from the hospital where your baby was born. Inside it will be weight/height ranges for children of that age. Weigh him and measure him. Does he fit within acceptable range? If he is losing weight go to a doctor.

It may sound strange but it wud really work....
try to make him as hungry as u could... like as u r dosing him every 3 hr extend it to 5 hr...
so that he feels his hunger....
and u will see that when u feed him... he will work keenly and this 'll be good for his growth...
