Mom of a 1 yr 7 m old girl4 months ago

Q.

I have a 13-month-old baby girl. She eats a few bites of finger foods like chilla and paratha, and she loves fruits. But she doesn't eat rice or any type of food that isn't a finger food. I have tried distraction feeding and self-feeding. If I give her plain white rice, she takes one bite and then starts playing. She is now 7.3 kg. How can I help her eat rice? Please help.

A. Namaste Mom That is ok as such not to worry on that, you can add on some flavours to the rice , give it in dosa form , kichidi , curd rice etc

Q. My daughter is 16 months old n she hardly eats anything, just 4-5 small bites of chapati in entire day else she is just on milk. All the more if she is given something sweet to eat , she loves that. But sooji chilla, besan chilla, bread very rare , any paratha, dal she doesn’t eat. Might take a bite at times but won’t have another one. She is happy with halwa, sweet biscuit, matar etc. which is unhealthy.
