Hi,
Thanx Hetal for ur reply.
I have one more Query.I would like 2 know what could b the diet plan for my 16 month child.I give him:
7 am -parle biscuits/bread butter/gerber flakes
9 am -milk 150 ml
11 am -any one fruit.
1 pm -khichdi/roti-veg and yougurt
2pm -again fruit
4pm -milk 150ml
6pm -slice of cheese/fistful of cheerios/poha/upma
8pm -dinner (same as lunch)
10 pm -milk 150 ml

I would like 2 know if this is enough,or if i am overfeeding him or giving him less.
What more things could i add in his diet to make it healthy.
he is getting his lower back tooth,so i think his dietis reduced to half of what i have mentioned above. Hetal replied. some additions !
your schedule of solids looks good to me,,just some additions.make sure he is able to eat around 1/4th of one adult serving per meal..now that your baby is 16months,,he should be easily able to eat that much...great schedule,,keep it up !!

1 pm -khichdi/roti-veg and yougurt..addins multigrains,whole grains,diff varieties of pastas,,mac n cheese,,add in tofus,and other sources of proteins...check my post to pria and mom.add in more lentils, rice and other varieties,,,

2pm -again fruit ///i would like you to replace this with some juice and crackers/toddler snacks/multigrain toasts/barley and multigrain biscuits... 100% juice can be given, or give fruit in some other form like puree or milkshakes are great ! also you can replace this with serving of curd or some finger foods..let this be your baby learning time to learn how to feed himself...

8pm -dinner (same as lunch),,,avoid giving one type of food in the whole day,,if you are giving roti vegie in the mornin,offer pastas or rice+lentils in the evenings,,,avoid giving curds in evenings,,offer desserts like kheer,sweet potato halwa(just put a dab of ghee, add in mashed boiled sweet potato and add in cardamom,,nothin else is required),,in short introduce your 16month old to desserts..also dont make desserts part of every dinners..once a while,or alternate days...
