A. dear mum, you should stop giving sweets and chocolates to your baby or at least gradually stop it. these reduce your child's appetite, results in unhealthy weight gain and also leads to development of oral cavity. encourage healthy eating habits at home. give homemade balanced diet having variety of food groups Grains Pulses , powdered nuts Egg and Nonveg especially seasonal fruits and vegetables even green leafy vegetables which are found to be lacking in infant diet. about 400-500 mL of milk but instead of giving only as milk which reduces the appetite for other food use milk to prepare recipes like porridge, kheer and give as milk products like curd, paneer, cheese. give top food five or more times a day and up to one katori every time. breastfeed baby till 2 years.
