Introduction:
Did your little one enjoy his meals during the first week of the month? It’s a new week, so it’s time for a new diet plan that includes some nutrition essentials, and new dishes to introduce in your toddler’s diet. As you may have noticed, small changes every week allow your little one to taste different flavours and form his own likes and dislikes, which you can definitely use to your advantage once he starts eating the same food as the rest of the family, throughout the day. Since your baby is still getting used to spice, make sure to go easy on the spices you add to his food. Are you ready to make meal times a breeze for your baby this week? Let’s look at week two of your 20-month-old’s diet plan.

Conclusion:
If your baby likes, dislikes, or is allergic to a certain food, you can always substitute it with something else, better suited to him. Meal times are meant to be enjoyed, and the more creative you are, the less of a fussy eater your child will be. Each week’s meal plan gives him a balanced diet, while allowing you some flexibility as well. Like what you see so far? Click here for week three of the diet plan for a 20-month-old.
