A. Pay close attention to your child's natural inclinations in food to understand what she likes and try to mimic that with a natural healthy home made alternatives e.g. if she likes packaged biscuits replace it with home made wheat cookies. Use camouflaging techniques e.g. if she likes eating only roti and says no to sabji start making Parathas by mixing the two which helps in hiding the vegetables. Try to provide semisolid to soft recipes which will be easier to eat e.g. Masala veggie daliya, multiflour veggie idli, sevai dry fruits kheer

A. Mostly, toddlers are fussy and picky eaters and therefore, it is important to give variety of foods so that maximum nutrition can be given even in smaller quantities. Try not to force feed and make eating a fun time. Serve in a kiddie bowl, plate or cup with a straw from brands like Babyhug feeding range in different shapes and colors to make it interesting. Keep giving finger foods to develop chewing habits.
