Actually it is the opposite, it doesn't contain much nutrients. Child requires protein for growth and development. Instead prefer khichdi, curd rice, dal-rice, besan related items.

Giving leftover will result in improper weight gain and also child later on also will prefer watery consistency food instead of thicker consistency food.
