12 kg at 18 months seems appropriate. Choose your babies favorite foods. Eating more is easier when you eat foods that you actually enjoy. Put some time and preparation into buying and planning out meals and snacks that it likes, that way the baby should never end up not eating just because there's nothing in the house that appeals to it. Avoid off-putting odors. Foods that have particularly strong smells can be overpowering and may turn your baby off eating a dish completely, especially if it weren't particularly hungry to begin with. Avoid foods like tuna or stinky cheese or anything which has a smell that doesn't appeal to you. Remember that hot food usually has more of an aroma than cold food, so try to give more sandwiches, salads or cold cuts of meat if smells are putting off the baby. Use herbs and spices in cooking. On the other hand, foods that have a very pleasant or fragrant smell can be very appealing and might be just the thing to get your tummy rumbling. Try adding herbs or spices to the favorite foods to create wonderful aromas and add interest to food. It will no longer be put off by bland and boring foods. Less fiber. Fiber, a nutrient found in fruits, vegetables and whole grain foods, is an essential component of any healthy diet. However, fiber-rich foods can be extremely filling, so it may be best to eat such foods only in moderation when trying to increase appetite. This should only be used as a short-term solution, however, as fiber is essential for healthy and normal body function Make meal times pleasant. Eating can be a much more enjoyable experience when you put some effort into creating a pleasant atmosphere at meal times. Put some music on, or let it watch its favorite TV show while eating or whatever the kid likes. Fresh air half an hour before a meal can help to stimulate appetite. Give enough liquids. You should aim to give between 1 and 3 glasses of water or water-based drinks a day. Drinking half a glass of water an hour before and an hour after a meal can help with digestion and ensure that there is not too much food in the stomach at any given time. However, you should avoid giving too much water directly before or during a meal, as this can decrease appetite and give a false sense of fullness. FOR MEDICATION CONSULT ONLINE IN PRIVATE
