Detailed Answer:
Hi,
For your 1 year old child,
You can give he following other than what you give.
Dhal mixed with rice and little butter one a day.
XXXXXXX and banana once a day are good.
You can give egg white everyday start with an small quantity to look for allergy.
Egg yolk twice a week.
Vegetable soup once a day alternating with mashed vegetables.
Raging if available in your place can bed given twice a week.
Bournvita is only for flavour - plain milk is good enough.
Naturally when you give solids the intake of milk will reduce
Half a litre or so is OK when you give the above.
You did not mention birth weight and present weight to assess whether he needs more!
Good luck
