A. Most of the toddlers are fussy and picky eaters and take time to develop taste for food. Best way to give full nutrotion is to mix variety of foods and feed, like mixed vegetable soup, oats with nuts and fruits, chicken soup, Dalia, veggies khichdi with curd, legumes, milkshakes with dry fruits, etc. Give lots of finger foods as it will develop chewing habit such as idle, chapati with ghee, besan and beetroot cheela, veg cutlet, etc.
