Is the baby taking a lot of milk during the day ? This could be in the form of breast milk or formula or regular milk. This can also kill the appetite for regular food. Juice is not a great option as it is low in fibre and high in sugars even though the sugars are natural so avoid pushing the juice. Instead encourage fruits. Children this age also want to self feed so allow that even if it seems messy. Do not force feed or make a fuss. And finally plan small meals. Don't expect her to eat a large quantity. Portion size would be about 1/4th the portion size of an adult.

Hi mommy <br>
Toddlers are fussy eaters. Offer small quantities at a time, at frequent intervals.... <br>
Try to make their plate colourful. Make use of all ur art skill to draw something r shape their food on plate with Moulds. This will make a difference. <br>
Let the kid eat herself, let it be messy, they always like to feel the texture, let them feel it and eat it. This methid appreciates most of the kids eat at least half the portion of their food. <br>
There is a trick, if they are sweet toothed, add a little more of strawberry puree, sweet potato purees on their plated food. <br>
Try to speak, recite some poems, listen to music. Distract them when they are fussy. <br>
Give them finger foods paneer fingers, cheese veggie cutlets, boiled carrots etc <br>
The rule is feed them on demand, be consistent and don't reinforce. <br>
