ExpertDr. Minal AcharyaNutritionist4 years agoA. many children in this age up to about 5 yrs are fussy eaters, it's normal. all your efforts are good so keep trying and be patient.
do not force feed but always be encouraging by way of talking, stories. Force feeding creates negative relationship with food.
praise child when he tries new food and finishes meal
try to give food in attractive manner interesting shapes of bread, paratha, colourful colourful mix of cut fruits
You may even try mixing food that baby does not prefer with those foods that the baby likes for example putting carrots and beetroot in Khichdi or Daliya.
Give finger food to your child which the child can have by self in your supervision.
