My baby boy is 15 months old. He refuses to eat food like khichdi, dal-rice, chapati, cooked vegetable etc. Instead, he prefer to eat particular fruits, boiled veggies (broccoli, carrot etc) boiled grains (rajma, chana etc), paneer and boiled eggs. Also, he wants variety in food. Sometimes, he is moody, cranky. Is it normal for them to have this behaviour towards eating? How can we help them to acquire better eating habits?

A. hi yes ,it is totally normal they do this because their taste buds develop at this stage of age and they have their own likes and dislikes . so..no worries in this just prefer to offer food when child is truly hungry
