Question

Accepted Answer

As toddlers are mostly very active, weight gain happens slowly. Therefore, it is important to mix variety of foods so that maximum nutrition can be given even in smaller quantities. Include fat and protein rich foods like potato, rice, pumpkin, sweet potato, eggs, chicken, fish, legumes, ghee, milkshakes with dry fruits, banana, avocado, paneer and 550-650 ml milk everyday including variety of fluids. Serve in a kiddie bowl or plate or cup with a straw from brands like Babyhug feeding range and give in different shapes and colors to make it interesting.
