Hello dear parent! Increase the liquid intake and fibre intake of your child. Bananas and apples are good for digestion and reducing constipation. Gradually include seasonal green leafy vegetables, seasonal fruits and vegetables, nuts, dry fruits and dairy. Serve foods in cute Babyhug stainless steel bowls and plates to encourage healthy eating.
