Hi Priya,
Thanks for the quick response, here is the average breakup of his diet everyday:
Breakfast: A whole wheat bread or 2-3 biscuits + 6 oz chocolate milk.
morning snack: fruits grapes(10)or watermelon(2 pieces) or strawberries (2-3).
lunch : Mostly doesn't eat anything.
Afternoon snack: Popcorn or cookie or juice 8 oz.
Dinner: A bread ( made of lentils, wheat) or oranges 3-4 pieces or a chicken wing ( once in a week) or an egg.
he doesn't eat any vegetables, or lentil soups.
he had three ear infections in these 20 months.

i understand why u are worried. he is not taking any veggie at all.he should be eating what u guys eat at home. ALFA ALFA TONIC must help him develop appetite , let him take it twice daily. it shold be taken for atleast 2 monthS for full result.
have u tried giving him rice?tell me where u are from, and i will try to advice foods accordingly.
the things u have to do is
1)give the tonic
2)choose from major group of veggies like yellow vegetable,green leafy,and greens.u can make veg cutlet or mix it with rice or season acc to his taste
3)hard boil egg,make sure the yolk is hard and crumbly.u can try it with the bread that he eats daily, with seasoning.
4)make sure he is active.play with him
try to find out his prefference to taste.
