Are you new to Chennai Moms?

Try the colorful different dishes and serve it with different look. Avoid the chips and junk food & cold drinks especially. Instead of it make some home made juice, fruit cream like dishes. Still not interested then take the advice of child specialiest. He is the person u can trust and overall fully experienced to handle these kinds of problems in kids.

as yourrays has said, we cannot leave a child with just one meal and a cup of milk for the whole day. If you ask me, I would give junk food also to make sure the child eats atleast 3 meals and 2 cups of milk a day.

your son must eat... try to do whatever you could. My son used to like only noodles for lunch when I pack for his school. he'll bring back the whole lunch if i dont give him noodles. so i gave him noodles for almost 2 months, then he asked for idly as one of his school mate bought it. now he is taking all varieties. So it'll take time, but find out which food your son likes and feed that. You can start giving multi-vitamin drops and pediasure/complan etc so that the vitamins and minerals are not missed out while he adjusts to the food routine.

Hi Sharda

if the child is active n is achieving his milestones there is nothing to worry but moms will b moms............

if he does'nt like vegies try to kneed d flour using water in which mixed vegies hv been boiled better still mash them into d atta then u can make prantha using this.

u can give him pranthas stuffed with grated carrot,aalo,paneer,lauki............ list is endless

just keep experimenting n see what he likes best.

if he likes to hv pizzas make them at home. again boil d vegies n blend them put them on the base with d suace..........

Happy experimenting

My son of age 5 's urine is always surrounded by ants. Is he diabetic? Bcoz my father and grandparents are diabetic. I'm not. Please help me.

If your son is otherwise fine, Urine surrounded by ants is no indication that someone is diabetic , this is quite a common feature, but because diabetes runs in families so whenever you visit your paediatrician next do discuss your family history with him so that he/she  can keep a watch.

Greetings Doctor,

Hi Natalia,

No 2 kids are same so u cannot compare him with your daughter, From what you have written, doesn’t looks like there is a problem, some kids start speaking late, so if his understanding of things and hearing is all right,don’t worry, just continue talking to him, reading to him and otherwise stimulating him and just relax and enjoy your babies!
