POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy9 months agoA. It's common for some 16-month-olds to be picky eaters and avoid certain types of milk, socks, or shoes as they develop their own preferences and independence. For your baby not taking formula or cow milk, try to offer other dairy alternatives like yogurt or cheese to provide calcium and other essential nutrients. You can also experiment with different types of formula or milk, such as flavored or plant-based options, if your baby prefers that. Regarding your baby not wearing socks, shoes, or a cap, this could be a sign of growing independence, but it's still important to ensure they are comfortable and protected, especially in colder weather. You could try introducing these items gradually and make it a fun activity. As for meals, if your baby is not eating properly, consider offering smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day and try offering a variety of textures and finger foods to make mealtime more engaging. Be patient, as toddlers can go through phases where they are not as interested in eating, but maintaining a calm and positive approach to mealtime can help. If you're concerned about your baby's nutrition or development, it's always a good idea to consult with a pediatrician for tailored advice and to rule out any underlying issues.
