A. A balanced diet for a 17-month-old Indian baby should include a variety of foods from different food groups. Here's a general diet chart: 1. **Milk and Dairy:** - 2-3 servings of whole milk (around 500-600 ml per day). - Yogurt or paneer (cottage cheese) can be included. 2. **Cereals and Grains:** - 4 servings of cereals like rice, wheat, oats, or ragi. - Include a variety of grains for nutritional diversity. 3. **Fruits:** - 1-2 servings of fruits like banana, apple, pear, papaya, or chikoo. - Introduce different fruits to provide a range of vitamins. 4. **Vegetables:** - 2-3 servings of vegetables like carrots, peas, potatoes, spinach, or pumpkin. - Cooked and mashed for easier consumption. 5. **Proteins:** - Include protein-rich foods like lentils, dal, eggs (if your child is non-vegetarian), or soft pieces of cooked meat. 6. **Healthy Fats:** - Include healthy fats from ghee, butter, or vegetable oils. - Offer foods like avocados for additional healthy fats. 7. **Snacks:** - Healthy snacks like puffed rice, murmura, or small portions of idli or dosa. - Avoid sugary or salty snacks. 8. **Fluids:** - Offer water throughout the day. - Limit fruit juices and avoid sugary drinks. Remember to introduce new foods one at a time to watch for any allergies. Adjust portion sizes based on your baby's appetite, and consult with a pediatrician for personalized advice.
