sry,for delay in reply.. aftr replyng couple post and readng your post, couldnt make it up to write you.
your approach is quite right,,go slow, no hurries, give her time and acceptance to accept the food since until now her body was strugglng to recover and her digestives are still sensitive. avoid givng ne hard or heavy foods and let her recover on her own or lemme say, wait for her to get ready for real good food !

morning 6-7,milk - offer whatever she accepts,,did you try complan or nesquick orne such kid additive,,your baby is 18months,,she is ready for that,,you can try 1tsp in one glass and see how she goes whole day...if she accepts well and good !

9.00 - 10.00 - BF - Idli( one or one and half)/// once you think she is gettng used to the milk additiive(which migght be abit heavy for a couple days, and she might reduce her breakfast,,if so, reduce the amt of milk or look for low fat like less than whole milk fat levels/3%,2%,,,if thatmakes her eat,,,or reduce the aty of the milk additive...but make sure to try offering, you can try differnt types like, start with milk solids one(often complan), thn the others one like malt based drinks....try milk solids ones first.thn only try malt based,,malt ones might be heavier toher thn milk solids ones)
once she is fine with additives, you can start offering her raagi kanji with a piece of paratha or offer some hot breakfast,,if you are giving idli,mix some boiled vegies while making her idlis,,and offer her that !

12 - 1.00 - Lunch- i have started giving her just rice and rasam, rice and curd.//// if you are giving tamarind based rasam, avoid that, instead offer tomato based one. if you are offering tomato or tamarind based rasam, avoid offering curd,,,offer curd with vegies,,,this will help her gain apetite ! and offer cumin pwder,some salt, some sugar in the curd and she will njoy it ! offer one serving of wheat like roti etc,,18months and coming out from sickness, she will like curd and roti more,,,and throwin some vegies to yourr rice !


3.00 - 4.00 - cornflakes(grinded-2tbsp) and milk //// do you get cherios or ne iron fortified cereal at your place, if so, offer that,,you can also alternate her this time for fruits,,esp now that she is recoverng offer fruits like papaya,mango, apple, strawberry,banana,,and keep her on this diet atleast until month. also offer her juices at this time, instead of milk feeds,,if she accepts...if not,you can alternate this time with some milkshakes at room temperature and ready to serve,,dont refrigerate,make them fresh and offer it.


6.00 - 7.00 p.m - Dinner- again rasam rice and milk rice///at night with rasam, milk rice is not needed ! give herr plain rasam(throw in some vegies in it),and offer with rice.

9.00 - 10.00 - Milk//no comments, offer milk additive if she accepts,,start new things on the next day, instead of all in one day,,go slow,she is still recoverng and allow her to accept things one by one.

other comments :
1. about carrots and tomatoes etc, neetu has given you the link, it quite normal for all babies..no worries. offer these in rasam, boiled in rice and likewise it will reduce in longer run,,,some bodies are sesnsitive to these and in longer run, say after 2years or may be after 5years they are fine and accept that,,,
2. you can start putting in her food all vegies like in rasam,,or sambhar and everyday make it a point to add in wheat germ pwder in her liquids when they are boiling,,its good for whole family too.
once she is comfortable with all of the above, leeme know, we will put her to high calorie diet and wait to see the results,,as of now, go slow, offer her whatever she accepts in her fav combinations,,,
about your worry, its quite understood, so am i,,thts y i am also tellng you to go slow, but as ofnow, shhe is ready for all these foods,,and i feel it shouldnt be a problem for her to accept these simple foods.about digestion part, since we are going slow, she is having enough liquids and assuming that she has recovered from all of her infections,,,we can expect that she will be able to digest these simple foods..and we can observe her accordingly.
rest all is okay..take care,
good luck
kruthi replied. Please can u let me know what veggies are easy to digest initially. kruthi replied. Hi Hetal,
thankyou very much. u have been wonderful. I wonder y i knew about this site so late when my baby was over 1 year. If i had known this site and you before, my child would have been healthier and strongger like all other children. anyway better late than never. I never took care of her properly till her 1 year. may be i am suffering because of that.

once again, thank you very much.
