Daily food plan for 20 month old baby
Hello Doctors,
I have a 20 month old baby boy and earlier he used to drink milk and eat cereal on a daily basis but nowadays since he grew up didn't like to drink milk and not have much interest in eating .
Can you please suggest what we can feed him on a daily basis from morning to night so that he can be healthy and put on some weight.

It would be helpful to do a diary excercise of food intake, that would help to assess variety of foods eaten.
If oral intake is poor, it could help to have a period of multivitamins. Hope he is growing well and developing well otherwise?

At 20 months a lot of development is going on so your baby boy may be finding the food a little less interesting. You can try making his mealtime interesting. Avoid using mobile phone or TV for feeding. Try to have a routine and stick to it. FAQs on IAP parental guidelines for feeding 1-2 year old are freely available for download online. Please go through them.

If not taking milk it's ok.
Try to give other food items.
Solid food and calorie dense food.
Besan chila, different parathas, daliya oats khichdi, dosa, Omlet, egg burgi, egg rolls , laddos , use ghee in food items etc.
Soups and vegetables.
