Hello Doctor

Whenever I give her food, she says no despite being hunger fr several hours.I am much frustrated . Sometime s I beat her,but no use. She poops very little in few pebbles once in
two days. She was eating very nicely earlier I don't know y she doesn't show interest for food. This makes me much worried and stressed .
Pls suggest what I have to do ,to make her eat well.
How I can bring interest fr her to eat.
Should I visit my paediatrician and get any medicine s for inducing hunger???

Yes, your worry is correct, child's weight is less than expected. But as far as child is active, playing well...no need to get tensed.
Show to a good pediatrician and take diet counseling...it would be enough...
Beating children won't be of any help. It does more damage than use, so I personally discourage that practice.
