Mom of a 5 yr 4 m old boy3 years ago

Q.

My Son is 1.7 years old but weight is just 8.5 . feeding him food is a big challenge

1 Answer

ExpertDr. Minal AcharyaNutritionist3 years ago

A. Dear mum, fussy eating behaviour is very common among babies, you have to be patient and keep trying. Try to give food in an attractive manner, interesting shapes of bread and parantha, colourful combination of cut fruits. Give finger foods, which baby can have on own in your supervision. Don’t force feed, it creates negative relationship with food.
