My daughter vomits a lot
My daughter vomits atleast 1 once in a day while having her meal. Since she's underweight we normally give her little little food 3-4 hourly.
She doesn't have any favourite food. No chocolate no icecream nothing. She doesn't like food and eating.
I am worried if something is wrong with her.
If we go to see doctor, they say if she's active no temperature or anything specific don't worry.
But I really am worried of her eating habits she doesn't take food in hand n eat. She is 2.5 years old. 11.6 kg and 85 cm in height. Her birth weight was normal. 2.95kg
Please please suggest.

Her physical parameters are normal.
Do NOT force feed,that's the commonest cause of vomiting at this age.
Give just 2 milk feeds using a glass,stop bottle feeding and breastfeeding if given,and give 3 solid meals at fixed timings.
Don't give anything else inbetween meals.
If she's active physically and mentally alert,and weight and height are increasing over a period of time,relax.
