A. Recommendations for feeding a child age 1 to 2 years x Breastfeed as often as your child wants up to age 2 years or beyond. x Continue to give 3–4 meals of nutritious foods, chopped or mashed if necessary, 3/4–1 cup* at each meal. Also give 1–2 snacks per day between meals depending on his appetite. x At each meal, feed your child a staple food along with different nutritious foods from the groups listed below. x Feed him from his own plate or bowl. Continue to actively help him to eat. Staple foods do not contain enough nutrients by themselves. You also need to give animal- source and other nutritious foods. Your child should eat a variety of these foods: 💠 Animal-source foods: Liver, meat, chicken, fish, eggs 💠 Milk products: Cheese, yoghurt, curds (and milk, for non-breastfed children) 💠 Pulses: Chickpeas, lentils, cow peas, black-eyed peas, kidney beans, lima beans (For vegetarians, these are important alternatives to animal-source foods.) 💠 Green leafy and yellow-coloured vegetables: Spinach, broccoli, chard, sweet potatoes, carrots, pumpkin 💠 Fruits: Banana, orange, guava, mango, peach, kiwi, papaya 💠 Oils and fats: Vegetable oils, butter 💠 Groundnut paste, other nut pastes; soaked or germinated seeds such as sesame, pumpkin, sunflower, melon seeds

A. After one year u can slowly start giving everything that u eat as a family may be in a less spicier version. Some food restrictions will be there until the baby is one year old like no cows milk or nuts or egg whites etc., but now u can give everything. Just follow the two day gap rule between introducing new foods. This will ensure ur baby doesnt become a fussy eater.
