A. For a 1.6-year-old baby, sweet foods like artificial sweeteners, dried fruits (such as anjeer and kishmish), and other natural sweets should be offered in moderation. While natural sweets contain nutrients like fiber, vitamins, and minerals, they also have sugar, which can contribute to excessive calorie intake and affect teeth. A small amount, such as 1-2 pieces of anjeer or kishmish, a few times a week, is fine. Limit sugary or artificially sweetened foods, as they can lead to unhealthy eating habits and tooth decay. Always balance sweet foods with nutritious meals for overall health.
