Four year boy mostly eats sweets, chips, carrots. lost weight in last year.any supplement you can recommend until he gets over this stage of development?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's not worth risk-: Ing developmental delays; please don't allow juice/soda/ junk food in your house. His doctor needs to check his head & body growth, iron & other nutrient levels, cognitive & overall development. Schedule healthy family meals & snacks only at the table. Limit milk & milk products to16-21 oz/day with meals. Ignore initial tantrums & food refusals. If you & his parents don't push him, he'll eat.
