Dietary Advice for Toddlers

Oh it seems you are having a real tough time with your baby, but it is very important to find out the reason why your baby is refusing to eat. Firstly don't force him for anything as this might make conditions worse, instead try this:

• It is common for toddlers to eat well on one day and not at all on the other, don't panic see when he is hungry and strike the iron that time.
  
• Learn his likes and dislikes and accordingly present the food or snacks in that manner.
  
  
  Try to introduce different colors and shapes, however don't introduce all at a time as he might get confused and reject all your effort.
• Try to explain him why he should eat and the benefits, like it would give him more strength to play. Be simple in explaining; don't confuse him with medical jargons.
  
  
  
• Put on his favorite cartoon character on the television or narrate stories while feeding as this might divert his attention to more interesting things rather than just eating.
  
• Have patience and try to eat the meals together, if he sees you enjoy the meal even he would take some initiative.
