Food Talk  Discussion Forum

Hi All

I am one of the mothers wh find it very hard to get some recipies for my one year old. He is very fussy and unles sthe food tastes good he wold eat it. He doesnt take in any solid foods from the jars at the store. PLease lets start a discussion topic on recipes. We can all post and contribute recipies and list for what month old baby. Any suggestions on this???? Or do we have such a forum Laxmi replied. Hi! Zabin

Good idea!

My son is 14 months and is very much like your child. I give him khichdi, role soaked in dal, roti soaked in mild and add 2 spoons of cerelac to it to make a very smooth paste, cut and cook apples( peeled and cut into vey fine pieces), mashed bananas, and also he takes a bit of whatever we eat. yes the quantity he takes is very small, I too worrk about him but as long as the child is healthy and active theres no worry.

i came to this topic to find out about food i can feed to my 20 months old baby. She too is fussy, but i know that she likes soft food. since they cannot chew that easily babies like soft and liquidy food. try giving mashed rice (overcook rice for sometime and add a little of water, ghee and salt to it)
soft chapatis (you can put oil/ghee to make roti very soft) with honey r some other sweet the baby likes.
one more recipie which worked with my daughter is, fry little onion pieces in ghee, add carrot,beans, green peas and fry a little more, add salt and bit of chilli powder (very little) to this add rice and tur dal(less in quantity) this would taste very nice as well.
Hope this helps you.

This is a very common problem... but don' t worry, try to give ur son whatever he likes. Infact give him everything n encourage him to eat, but don' t force him. Woh jo bhi khush ho kar khaye use khane do. He is old enough to have any thing, so u can give him \" fingure chips, besan ka puda, omlate, aaloo- parantha, fruit-chaat(cut into very small pieces), Maggie etc.\" Just add variety to his food n try to give him everything, it will help to develop his taste.

Don' t worry, I can understand ur problem as I' ve gone through this phase. Don' t loose hope.
