1. **Dairy Products:** Full-fat milk, yogurt, and paneer (cottage cheese) provide essential fats and calcium.
2. **Healthy Fats:** Include ghee (clarified butter), coconut oil, and homemade almond or peanut butter.
3. **Protein-Rich Foods:** Lentils (dal), chickpeas (chana), and eggs are good sources of protein.
4. **Whole Grains:** Offer whole grains like brown rice, oats, and whole wheat, providing energy and fiber.
5. **Fruits and Vegetables:** Avocado, banana, mango, and potatoes offer calories and nutrients.
6. **Nuts and Seeds:** Groundnuts, almonds, and sesame seeds can be added to meals or as snacks.
7. **Homemade Snacks:** Prepare nutrient-rich snacks like poha, upma, or vegetable parathas.
Always consult with your pediatrician for personalized advice based on your toddler's health and dietary needs.
