Question is incomplete because weight was not mentioned here. In case of any suggestions parents should mention age, sex and weight compulsory. In this situation if weight is appropriate nothing to worry because 1.There is a physiological anorexia in between 1 yr to completion of 3years 2.there is a weight gain of 1 1/2 to 2kg /year between 1to 5yrs 3.Encourage the child to play 4.Give only home made food whatever parents eats, no seperate food for child 5.Give milk less than 1/2 litre/day, daily boiled egg and plenty of oral liquids 6.Give food in colourful plate 7.if weight is not appropriate consult paediatrician only (in your child weight should be 12.5 to 14 kg) 8.No need for any appetite stimulators.                        Thanks you
