A. After one year u can slowly start giving everything that u eat as a family may be in a less spicier version. Some food restrictions will be there until the baby is one year old like no cows milk or nuts or egg whites etc., but now u can give everything. Just follow the two day gap rule between introducing new foods. This will ensure ur baby doesnt become a fussy eater. Try giving ur baby finger foods (without choking hazard and you are sure ur baby can chew well and eat) which ur baby can feed on their own . Don't worry about the mess. Some babies don't like to eat until they explore the food themselves. Also try to change the routine menu and introduce new recipes following the two day gap rule. Use different colored plates in different shapes and different types of spoons in different colours to get ur child's attention. You can add full cream cows milk, eggs, meat if non vegetarian, potatoes and all diary products like butter, curd, ghee, cheese, paneer etc. Add dry fruits and nuts like almonds, pistachios, cashew, walnut, fig, dates in the child's regular diet. They will help to increase weight.
