#asktheexpert my kid is 2 yrs and 10 months old. he is taking any food other than milk mixed with rice or idly. all 3 meals are with milk only no other foods. please tell us any way to change this. he is also underweight.

A. Best way to change it is stop giving it how your child wants to eat it because when you continue to give it in the same way as your child likes to have it you’re actually encouraging your child to eat the food as they want to eat it to break this pattern sometimes you have to be little stubborn with the pattern that you want to follow for your child because if you let lose all the time thinking it’s my child my child is hungry my child should eat this that the other then you end up actually encouraging your child to eat the way that they want to eat which is not correct so to teach the right thing to the child sometimes you have to be a little stubborn with the situation
