A. dear parent, a chubby child is not the only indicator for good health. if your baby is active, playful, achieving all growth milestones, tripled the birth weight by one year then it indicates good health. after 1 year, you can give all family foods. give homemade balanced diet having variety of food groups Grains Pulses , powdered nuts Egg and Nonveg especially seasonal fruits and vegetables even green leafy vegetables which are found to be lacking in infant diet. about 400-500 mL of milk but instead of giving only as milk which reduces the appetite for other food use milk to prepare recipes like porridge, kheer and give as milk products like curd, paneer, cheese.
