POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due this month3 months agoA. It’s common for some toddlers around 16 months to go through phases of picky eating or even refuse both food and milk. This can happen due to teething discomfort, developing independence, or simply a temporary loss of appetite. To help, try offering a variety of soft, colorful, and easy-to-eat foods in small portions without pressure. Include favorite snacks and involve him during mealtime to make it fun. You can also offer milk in different forms—like yogurt, cheese, or milk-based puddings—to ensure he gets some nutrients. Avoid force-feeding, but keep offering food regularly and keep mealtimes calm and consistent. If refusal continues for more than a week, or if he shows signs of weight loss or dehydration, consult your pediatrician for further advice.
