Hi Sonu,

U had mentioned in one of ur posts that ur 20 months old baby has 4 teeth .Does she take mashed foods.I have a 16 months old who's a very very fussy eater.For making her eat a single meal, I end up crying every time.I am in the US .My girl has 8 teeth in all but takes only blended (like stage1 gerber food) food.I have seen kids of her age tasting bits of bread, fruit bits.She doesn't like drinking milk and it's a challenge everyday for me to make her drink her milk.U know what she doesn't like to take milk from bottle,sippy, cup, or anything else.If i forcefeed her, i'll be able to feed her 10 ounces of milk per day and this happens very rarely.Nowadays she had started to dislike yoghurt too.I am worried .How can make her to like food and when'll she start to take normal or atleast mashed food .Please help me.
TIA,

good u realise where u were doin wrong.it only needs patience to tackle them.

about sabudana khicadi,soak small tiny sabudana in water for 15 mins(its very tiny one we get it in malaysia no idea about ur place)then in pan put very little jeera (not rai as jeera has digestion quality)then 1 curry leaves tear it n put n put soak sabudana.stir its transparent n put water as per consistency.put little salt for taste.

for sabudana kheer in pan put little ghee than put soaked sabudana n milk.stir well .if using formula no need to add sugar if not then put sugar as per taste.

Give ur baby time to grow n like things .try new things she will like to eat after few days.

take care

ya she only has 4 teeths but takes solids but not fully solids like adults.when she was 7 mths old she got habit of eating watching movie so now whenever i have to feed her i switch on her favourite movie n she finishes her meal.after her meal i switch off her movie.so now feeding her is not a hazard.

about her food i give her solids,fruits,soups and milk.

8am - 220ml milk wth 2 biscuits
(dilute in milk )
10. - snacks like upma or fruits
(fruits like apple grate it
n give,banana
simple smashing,mango,chikoo
n orange juice)
1 - lunch rice & dal or
khicadi wth vegetables
5 - snacks like upma or fruits
(fruits like apple grate it
n give,banana
simple smashing,mango,chikoo
n orange juice)or vegetable soup.
8 - dinner roti with dal(roti soak
in dal roughly smash n give her)
or khicadi or rice n dal
10 or before sleeping - 200ml milk

U can also give sabudana khicadi or sabudana kheer.

when babies started teething then they shud start to have foods fully smashed to semi solids.they will automatically try to chew.give her very small quantity in start then she will start to chew.

When we eat encourage babies to eat form our plate like simple rice or vegetables or roti tear it to very small pieces n give it they will play n eat as well.

if she doesnt like milk give it in other form like apple milk shake or banana milk shake,chikoo milk shake,rava kheer ,rice kheer.she will definately enjoy new things daily.babies are too smart they wont take same thing everyday.

Yogurt if u want give her the flavoured one she will like it.try cheese also in her food.babies like cheesy tastes.

Dont need to worry.try new new things with ur baby.

take care
Sonu
