Mom of a 4 yr 4 m old girl3 years ago
Q.

My 1 year old doesn't eat much. I am doing traditional weaning and she doesn't eat on her own. She takes an hour to finish each meal. She finishes only half of meal if I feed her and starts throwing tantrums after that. Mealtimes have been very stressful since two weeks. She eats only if I give her toys or play rhymes or cartoon. How do I make her eat well or make her eat on her own?

A. try giving sometimes finger foods but at 1 year of age you will need to feed him but gradually she will start accepting on her own keep trying After 1 year of age you can start giving the child everything with you prepare for your family at home . But the meals you are giving should be easy to digest less oily and less spicy for him . Keep giving some natural probiotics like curd buttermilk or yogurt every day for a better digestion. The diet should be balanced one. Should incorporate seasonal fruits and vegetables that provide micronutrients and fibre. Proteins are the building blocks of the body, so meals should be proportionate. Lean meat fish eggs can also be introduced gradually. Nuts to be given, soaked in water beforehand.
