A. Toddlers grow at a slow rate when compared to babies. You can start giving whole cow's milk and milk products like ghee in small amounts, curd, butter, cheese and home made paneer. Give fruit milkshakes and fruit smoothies and add dry fruits powder to them. Give plain nuts like walnuts, peanuts, almonds, cashew nuts and raisins. Give lentils like moong Dal and urad Dal. Give one boiled egg per day. Give cheesy potatoes and sweet potatoes. Give peanut butter sandwiches. Offer small portions of food and give more only when the kid asks. Offer colourful foods on colourful plates. Cut foods into different shapes using cookie cutters to attract the attention of the kid. Offer different textures of foods. Offer his or her favourite foods along with the new foods that you want to introduce in his or her diet.
