How will you know if a child is poorly fed?

Signs that a child may be poorly fed include noticeable weight loss or failure to gain weight appropriately, stunted growth, and a lack of energy or unusual fatigue. They may also exhibit signs of malnutrition, such as a swollen abdomen, dry skin, or brittle hair. Behavioral changes, like increased irritability or difficulty concentrating, can also indicate inadequate nutrition. Regular monitoring of growth patterns and nutritional intake is essential for early detection.
