Decrease the milk in his feeds and his grasp is developed so put some solid food in front of him and let him approach dont force feed.
Next Steps
Keep an watch on his growth - if the condition is still the same - visit the paediatrician

Here are simple and practical nutrition tips for a one-year-old child: 🥣 1. Continue Breastfeeding (if possible) Still provides important nutrients and immunity. Can be continued along with solid foods. 🍚 2. Offer 3 Meals + 2 Snacks Daily Small, frequent meals are better. Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner Snacks: Mid-morning and evening 🍲 3. Family Foods – Soft & Mashed The child can eat most of what the family eats – just ensure it’s: Soft Well-cooked Mildly spiced (no chilli) 🥛 4. Avoid Excess Cow's Milk Limit to 400–500 ml/day. Too much milk can cause iron deficiency. Use a cup, not a bottle. 🥗 5. Iron-Rich Foods Start including: Green leafy vegetables (mashed/pureed) Egg yolk (well-cooked) Dals and pulses Ragi, jaggery Fortified cereals (occasionally) 🍌 6. Give Fruits & Vegetables Daily Soft fruits like banana, papaya, chikoo, apple (steamed/mashed) Boiled and mashed vegetables: carrot, potato, pumpkin, etc. 🐟 7. Protein Sources Dals, curd, egg, paneer, tofu, mashed fish/chicken (small quantities) ❌ 8. Avoid Junk Food No biscuits, chips, sweets, bakery food, or soft drinks. 🚫 9. No Salt, Sugar, Honey (in excess) Minimal salt and sugar is best. Avoid honey till after 1 year (risk of botulism), but even after 1 year, use sparingly. 💧 10. Water Give boiled, cooled water as the main drink apart from milk. 🥄 Bonus Tips: Encourage self-feeding with hands or spoon. Expect mess – it’s part of learning. Avoid force-feeding; offer variety and let the child explore.
