Can I use aptivate syrup for my baby who is 22 months old and weight is 10 kg? He is very bad in eating and drinking milk. Just want to increase his appetite. Does it work?

He has got a very good weight, considering that he is still not 2 years. Don't worry if he is not having milk. Focus on a normal diet. Medicines are never the solution.

It is not always effective. Works in some patients only. Rule out organic causes for poor appetite. He might be anemic.

You can try it. But make a habit of eating food together.

Weight is okay as per age. Give all food items that are cooked in home. Green vegetables, fruits (not only juice, milk, eggs, meat. Aptivate you can use fir short duration.

Yes you can give but it is a subjective feeling of parents that child is not eating properly .though the weight seems near normal. Do not force feed do not give outside food focus on milk products .green leafy vegetables visit your child specialist if you aren't satisfied with his eating habits.
