ExpertDr.Rasika ThosarPaediatric Intensivist4 years agoA. try giving liquid foods first Give khichdi, daliya, upma, curd rice all in mashed form.
add veggies, give fruit purees.
better to give more fruits, veggies ,instead of sweets as children don't have much likes and dislikes at this age.
so they accept variety of flavors.
