Offer A Variety Of Foods To Your Kid

Your child needs around 1400 calories to meet her daily nutritional needs at this point. She may either be a picky eater or will eat anything you give. For her proper growth and development, give your child variety of healthy foods that include fresh vegetables, fruits, cheese, milk , eggs, fish, whole grain cereals and bread.
While introducing a new food, don’t rush in for your child to eat it. Give it along with foods that she is familiar with. Let her explore the food and try it. If she doesn’t like the first time, don’t force her. You can try giving it again after few days.
Avoid junk food and drinks that are high in sugar content. Whole fruit is better than fruit juice as it has more fibre and natural sweetness. The ideal drinks will be water and milk.
Keep healthy snacks handy like cut carrots, cucumber in the fridge. Substitute them for sugary snacks. Reserve junk food for occasions.
Small portions are needed by your child. It is better she chooses the serving size and self-feeds in a distraction free environment. Then the chances are better that she finishes the food. Have meals together as a family.
