A. Check the oral cavity for any enlarged tonsils or adenoids or ulcers which might be causing difficulty for the baby to consume the food. Usually babies will have a few months of time where they will avoid foods and giving bland breakfast foods might be helpful and also give fruits and juices Write Your Answer Here

A. Let your child decide the quantity – Rely on your child’s appetite centre in his brain and let him decide how much he wants to eat.Limit his snacks to two per day – Do not allow more than two snacks per day between mealtimes. Loading up on snacks will decrease your toddler’s appetite.Limit fluid intake – Put the cap on fluid intake at about 480 ml per day, as fluids (apart from drinking water) contain calories that can make the child feel full.Serve different varieties – You can rotate the menu and add new recipes to keep your child interested and also learn about his food preferences.Get creative with the presentation – Make food fun with creative shapes and colours or even fancy little plates and cutlery.
