Meal Plans: #Week 3 (Toddlers)

It is the Children’s Day Week and we have some surprises in there for your kids in Week 3 of Kiddy Kitchen!

These meal plans have been put together by Healthy Eating Habits Expert Deepti Arora who knows how to make a toddler tummy happy!

Deepti has some advice for you:

One week my daughter loves peas and the next week she won’t touch them. It happens with all kinds of ingredients and dishes I prepare. But I find that if I keep giving her variety, trying ingredients in different ways, and continue to offer her the ingredients she once loved

and is currently rejecting, she often comes back to them and loves them once again.

That is super advice, mums! Try it!

Happy Cooking and Experimenting!

Welcome to Week 2 of Kiddy Kitchen! And we are back with some more interesting new recipes for your little ones!

The meal plans have been put together by Healthy Eating Habits Expert Deepti Arora who knows exactly what excites a toddler’s palate and how to serve it!

Deepti has some advice for you:

Feeding is not just about food. It also offers an opportunity to establish a bond between mother and child. Giving the child undivided attention while feeding encourages intake. So however you feed your baby, try to make it an interaction between the two of you and enjoy the bonding!
