#asktheexperts Hello mam, my daughter is 16months old. her eating pattern is really bad, she doesn't eat anything well. any food or fruits we offer she just takes a bite or two and denies another morsel. reply worried about her food habits.. she is not getting enough nutrition i think. can you please help in mending her food habits and make her eat.

A. Dear Ma’am, what’s her present weight? Is she otherwise active, playful, has normal bowel and sleep? If yes, then absolutely need not worry. Picky eating is part of normal growth and development. They are explorative at this age. Force feeding won’t help. Encourage self feeding. Let your kid decide how much to eat. Limit the quantity of milk and focus on healthy solids.
