A. Child at this age are picky/ choosy eaters. Give him a normal food in small amounts and in frequent intervals. Feed same food items (menue) continue for 4-5 days then change the food item for another 4-5days. Feed with other family members. Give in separate plate to maintain personal identity.. In between mail meals, fruit, fruit juice, one biscuit can be given. Avoid junk foods strictly.. Avoid force feeding. ..give different kind of recipe as their taste changes during this age group.
