WHAT TO OFFER YOUR KIDS WHEN NOT FEELING WELL
it’s hard to watch our babies when they have fallen sick and it's even more harder to feed them healthy meals at this time .
They may either throw up, or not feel like eating or demand only liquids. Every culture has its own way of feeding

Basically, real healthy food will help your child recover the quickest. I don’t feed my child what he demands, just to get him to eat when he is sick. I continue to make the daily meals with slight variation, offer more hydrating food, neither I pressure him (I can't even do it on a normal day so when he is sick it's out of question)
Hydration is the key

No matter if your child has a fever, a cold, diarrhoea, stomach infection, hydration is the most important thing when they are sick.
The best way to keep them hydrated is to offer Fruits & Veggies
Even if your kids aren’t drinking water, they may be able to eat food that has a lot of water in it like watermelon, oranges, kiwis, strawberries etc
If your kid has stomach infenction, then fruits and veggies probably aren’t a good idea. its better to give liquids
The best way to keep little ones hydrated is by giving the home made drinks like buttermilk, jaggery water, nimbu pani etc
Other fluid options: Coconut water, Congee (rice water), honey water etc
Meals

Kids often have a low appetite when they are sick. This is not a good time to force them to eat anything or to buy them French fries, you just have to get them to eat healthy nutrition meals. Even if it means they are losing weight it's fine, they will regain in 3 weeks
Meals that you can offer is

Curd rice, khichdi, idli, dosa, roti and selected vegetables, basically keeping it true to the indian root system. #themagicplatter #bbcontentcreators #healthyeating #illness #rightfood
