question
Ok! It's a guilt, a confession and what not that I am going to say. Let me pour my heart out to my fellow friends here on app.

I never loved cooking. I m not a very great cook. I am trying my best to give whatever I can cook either by myself or by learning from YouTube or this app. But still due to teething or may be bad cooking my baby sometimes reject the food. I don't know whether I am giving her proper diet or not. Her weekly nutrition includes roti variety of daal rice seasonal fruits sooji dahi oats besan tomatoes multigrain biscuits green veggies and whatever else in our plate. Milk as nan pro 3 and amul taza
I am guilty of not able to give her more foods which are like olive oil brocolli zucchini type as I have never eaten all this and don't know how to cook and what to mix with what.I don't know if I am doing enough!

You are doing good. No need of exotic veggies for nutrition. Ideally you should introduce home food, whatever you eat without salt and less spice to baby.

trust me on this, for kids - till they are 5 years old - their mom is the best cook ever. i'm not a great cook at all - seriously. though i made a huge effort to expose my baby to all sorts of foods so she becomes a foodie and adventurous like we are. they change. their favourite foods keep changing. when she was 2 years old she would eat only one proper meal a day and i would think that people probably say "iski maa iska saara khana kha jaati hogi" :) i felt very guilty. so pls learn from my mistakes - it's got nothing to do with ur food or broccoli or olive oil. keep it creative and playful - make shapes and have fun with her. when i was small i used to bite my paratha in different ways and make it my telescope. i would do the same with my childoo. i would give her french toast and cut in different shapes (till she was 8 years old!!! ) get rid of the guilt. feel free to ping me anytime on this one!! JUST BE THERE FOR HER. THAT'S ALL YOU NEED TO DO.

Oh plz don't worry kid will eat what they want to eat. And broccoli, zucini etc don't have any spcl;; nutrients that you can't find in Indian food and pedea also suggest to give local produce to kid. So chill
