#asktheexpert My son's age is 1.2 yrs. He's not eating his food properly. Always he put his finger in his mouth. Any suggestions for baby weight gain

A. Dear mum, give small frequent meals to your baby as babies have small stomach. Give 4 to 5 meals a day and up to one katori every time. Give homemade balanced diet having variety of food groups especially seasonal fruits and vegetables even green leafy vegetables. At least 500 ml of milk every day including milk products like curd, paneer, cheese. You can give eggs and non veg foods. Add powdered nuts like almonds to baby’s food. Add ghee to every meal. Breastfeed baby till 2 years.
