After 1 year of age, child’s calorie consumption is high and if his meals are not planned well there will be calorie deficit leading to slower weight gain

A child that is not gaining weight steadily can be in danger of  not meeting their nutritional needs.

Getting your little one to eat more is likely to be very difficult. Therefore, making each mouthful have the greatest caloric impact is the most likely to add those needed kilos.
