megha replied. hi nidhi,
i hv a 2 yr old. sometimes he is fussy. but 2 yr olds love to hv new varieties, diff shapes, colours in food. try them.we eat chapati every day. but if he is not interested i make it into a roll and he loves it.carrots cut into circles, fruits in triangles, sheera in form of small laddoos etc.try doing this. but don' t worry as long as ur son is healthy otherwise. its imp to incl lot of fruits n veges. see if he likes to snacks in betn meals. jes replied. I have noticed that you havent included fruits in his diet.TRy giving fruit juices to him.ANd also whole fruits like apple ,banana etc in the evenings.DOnt woryy if he isn' t chubby.Even my daughter has never been chubby.My daughter is 17 months old this is diet i follow
8:30-puttu/upma/chapathi with banana or dosa/idli/apam with sambhar or potato stew
9:30-milk
11-Fruitjuice-Masumbi or orange
1 pm-rice with veg curry/fish/chicken
After rice she also takes a cup of curd.
She take a nap for 3 hrs
4-milk
5-fruits(if she eats less rice in the afternoon i give her ragi or banana powder to balance her diet)
6:30-fruit juice
8:30 same as lunch including curd

Hope this milk.my Daughter is a very fussy eater .BUt she loves eating fruits.As long as ur son is healthy and don' t fall sick u dont have to worry much about it.
