Baby not eating properly food
Hello Doctor
My 19 month old baby not eating food ( meal-dal rice vegetables) since two weeks. He likes eating only fruits, pan cake ( ghee oats wheat whole egg apple banana), halwa ( suji banana ghee jaggery powder). 4-5 times milk per day (120 ml each time). Rice dosa with potato sometimes.
Doctor can you please suggest me what to do. I have given one dose of zentel 5ml as doctor recommended in Jan 2024.

Toddlers are fussy eaters and tend to eat foods that are sweet .
Make his plate colourful by adding veggies . Give plenty of water . Continue giving fruits and fruit based desserts .
Incorporate grains in the form of kheer , pudding , or pancakes as you’re already giving .
Be patient and keep trying , kids require 10 or more attempts to like new foods
Offer finger foods and encourage the child to feed himself, even if it gets messy .
Avoid processed sugars and packaged foods .
