Welcome to Healthcare_magic
Greetings of the day
Dear Mr XXXXXXX

I assume you meant 2.2 years old son and not 2.2 month old .

Being a parent myself, i can understand your concern and apprehensions.


It would be helpful if you could provide additional information
1. What was the birth weight?
2. What is the present weight
3. What is height of baby?

It is important that you start introducing a variety of food in your toddler's diet gradually. These will provide the calories, proteins, vitamins and minerals that are essential for his growth. The amount of food eaten would vary from child to child and would also depend on when you introduce a particular food to your toddler. Most of the times it is "Try and Error" method. Lots of patience would be required from your end to find out what is that diet which tickles your toddlers tastebuds which also contains maximum nutrients. You need to try multiple ones and find which your child loves to eat amongst those. Initially it may be difficult from shifting to solid/semi-solid feed from milk based diet, continued perseverance and trying out what the baby likes is the key. Try the below suggestion, if still there is refusal to take diet, then do consult your Pediatrician

One recipe which the kid will like is as below

Ingredients needed: Ghee( 2 spoons), Whole wheat flour ( 2 spoons) , Pista( 50 gms), Cardomom ( 6 in number), Almonds( 50 gms), Khajur( Dried dates 50 gms), water/milk

In a pan pour 2 spoons of ghee, heat it, add 2 spoons of wheat flour (Atta), cook it till golden brown on low flame till its slightly golden in color. Add 2 Cups of water or Milk and keep stirring it continuously making a thin water paste( same like sira consistency). To this add powdered mixture of rest of ingredients grinded in mixer ( pista, almond, khajur, cardomom).
Supplement baby breakfast with this recipe, and also can be consumed at night when baby is hungry. In this way his quota for milk will also be fulfilled.

I would also suggest you to deworm the baby.

If you want , I could also suggest a diet plan for him.

Awaiting your response

Take Care
