I don't give her juices (although she would love the readymade ones, but I avoid giving it to her). She loves to drink water and I also try to give her 3-4 (8-9 oz) bottles of milk during the weekend when she's with me and 2-3 during weekdays. She eats fruits, so I am not particular about giving fruit juices, as fresh fruits are anytime better than the juices.

I make khichid and other rice and dal with different vegetables for lunch/dinner. She also loves idli/dosa which I gv with dal or soup. Also give upma. You should have your own food when she's awake and hungry, this way she will try to eat from your plate whatever she likes and thus you will know her preferences.

But we should keep in mind that their stomach size is too small to take big meals. Try giving frequent but small meals. I give my 18 month old ...3 meals, 2 snacks, 2 juices of 2 oz, and 2 bottles one in the morning and one before bed time. I also give couple of sips of water after each meal. You try it too...
