A. A diet for a 19-month-old Indian baby should be balanced, providing essential nutrients for growth and development. Here's a general diet chart: **Breakfast:** - Idli or dosa with coconut chutney - Scrambled eggs or paneer (cottage cheese) cubes - Small pieces of fruit (banana, papaya, or apple slices) **Mid-Morning Snack:** - Full-fat yogurt with a few chopped berries or mashed banana - A small serving of puffed rice (murmura) **Lunch:** - Rice or roti with dal (lentil curry) - Vegetables like carrots, peas, and potatoes cooked with mild spices - Cooked and mashed spinach or other leafy greens - A small portion of curd (yogurt) **Afternoon Snack:** - Soft chapati or bread slices with a spread of ghee or butter - Slices of cucumber or boiled potato **Dinner:** - Khichdi (rice and lentils cooked together) with vegetables - A small serving of chicken or fish (if non-vegetarian) - Mashed sweet potato or pumpkin **Evening Snack:** - Fruit smoothie with yogurt and a variety of fruits - Finger foods like small pieces of cheese or soft fruits **Notes:** 1. **Hydration:** Offer water throughout the day. Limit fruit juices and avoid sugary drinks. 2. **Texture:** Gradually introduce different textures and encourage self-feeding. 3. **Allergenic Foods:** Introduce allergenic foods one at a time and observe for any allergic reactions. 4. **Portion Sizes:** Adjust portion sizes based on your child's appetite and preferences. 5. **Avoid Processed Foods:** Minimize the intake of processed and sugary foods. Always consult with your pediatrician for personalized advice based on your child's individual needs, growth, and development. They can guide you on specific dietary requirements and address any concerns you may have.
