Is This Diet Good For A One Year Old Child?
Hello Doctor! My son is one year old . The diet that I follow for him is
1. Morning 210 ml milk for breakfast
2. Cerelac @ 1 pm
3. Nestum @ 4 pm
4. Dal- Rice or Khichdi @ 8 pm
5. Milk while sleeping 210 ml @ 11pm
Apart from this sometimes boiled egg or apple in between. Daily 3 to 4 grapes or any other fruit.
Wanted to know if this diet is enough for his growth @ this age ?
I need to make the khichdi / dal rice semi-solid as he is still unable to eat proper solid rice . Should I continue it in the same manner. Please suggest....

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
The number of calories required depends on the weight of the baby.
Usually 100 calories / kg body weight up to 10 kg body weight.
Milk 100 ml provides 60 calories
One egg provides 80 calories
Cooked rice 2 cups provides 375 calories.
Cooked rice 10 tea spoonfuls provide 90 calories.
Cerelac/ Nestum, each 30ml provide 20 calories
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
