Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is this correct or cerelac is enough for her, please advice Hi, My 2 year old child is eating only cerelac -baby food. she is not at all taking rice ,fruits ... growth she needs normal food ....is this correct or cerelac is enough for her ..please advice ..
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. But for a 2 years old kid, it's not at all sufficient to sustain only on cerelac baby food. Food fads develop in this age and unless and until you start offering her all your staple diet, she won't nourish well on just baby foods.
Offer your child the same healthy foods that you and the rest of your family enjoy. Give your child foods with different flavours and textures from all 4 food groups. The 4 food groups are: -Vegetables and fruit -Grain products -Milk and alternatives -Meat and alternatives Make sure that the foods you offer are prepared with little or no added salt or sugar. Include healthy foods that are higher in fat like salmon, avocado, cheese, and nut butters.
Hopefully this will help you. I would be happy to help you with any further questions. Take care
