A. growth of the child can be ensured by fulfillment of proper nutritional requirement specially iron and vitamin D is required for better growth and cognition.one should ensure that the child should get a proper balanced diet which contains all types of micro and macronutrients essential for growth. any kind of infection specially any chronic infection should be ruled out and treated which may hamper the growth otherwise. after 2 years of age you can give some powder like Kids Pro/ prohance junior mixed with milk twice a day for on the ee or two months but any health drink is not recommended before two yrs of age.u can add flavours also to milk. avoid giving too much of milk otherwise it may hamper the hunger of the baby and the baby may not be taking interest in having other variety of food .and opposite to that if the baby is not taking milk properly the dairy products will be a good substitute like curd, paneer n cheese etc.

A. Oats Should be given to the child after the age of 6 to 7 months and barley should be introduced later after the age of 10 to 11 months not before that so it’s better that you stick to one as of now and that’s going to be oats porridge khichadi mashed banana mashed potato vegetable purée and vegetable soup pumpkin soup fruits Suji Kheer Upma Halwa and dairy products can be given from the very beginning
