#asktheexperts my child doesn't have a pre planned meal. whatever we make at home we offer him. he eats when he likes or he doesn't eat and on that days he just eats plain rice or chapati. rice and chapati is there daily along with dal of different different pulses and vegetables my problem is that he doesn't eat on his own. he wants somebody mostly me to feed him all his meals.. except when there is noodles in the evening rest for everything he wants somebody to feed him and he wants to play alongside or watch something. how to make him eat on his own. because apart from what is made at home we don't offer him anything else or have also anything to offer. so just because he should eat we also feed him whenever he tells us to feed. thank you in advance.
