Hello dear parent! Above one year completion you can start giving your baby all the homemade foods that you daily prepare for your family. Include seasonal fruits and vegetables, green leafy vegetables, nuts, dry fruits and dairy in the diet. Keep your baby hydrated and physically active. Loss of appetite indicates vitamin deficiency in the child. Consult your child’s doctor for evaluation and advice. Good luck and take care.
