A. Let your child decide the quantity – Rely on your child’s appetite centre in his brain and let him decide how much he wants to eat.Limit his snacks to two per day – Do not allow more than two snacks per day between mealtimes. Loading up on snacks will decrease your toddler’s appetite.Limit fluid intake – Put the cap on fluid intake at about 480 ml per day, as fluids (apart from drinking water) contain calories that can make the child feel full.Serve different varieties – You can rotate the menu and add new recipes to keep your child interested and also learn about his food preferences.Get creative with the presentation – Make food fun with creative shapes and colours or even fancy little plates and cutlery.
