All fruits and vegetables are good for the child of 1 yr. You can make sure to give atleast 1 fruit and 1 vegetable daily along with rice/wheat.

Atleast a cup of milk daily for calcium. And one dates for iron.

Green and leafy vegetables are good. You can try giving soup if he is not eating any particular vegetable.

All the best!

Well a one year old almost eats everything, you may start off almost everything with little quantity.Like rice, chapati, oat meals, vegetable soups, fruit juices or milkshakes, nanchni, biscuits, dals, egg white boiled, fish or chicken boiled depending upon ur eating preferences.

Try avoiding chocolates and icecream because they might loose their appetite.

And always keep them hydrated with ample of boiled water and milk.

Answers from Natural childbirth and lactation consultant,Pediatrician- Dr.Shacchee Khare Baweja

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,

Trust this finds u in best of health.

I am a mother of 2 kids. daughter age 6 and son 22 months. my concern is my son. its been a couple of months now, he blabbers alot. there are a few words i can understand but most of the time he blabbers or talks baby talk to himself or to us. he can say mamma, dadda, come, more (if he wants more to eat) numnum for food, the word no, his sister's name very recently. he loves to sing rhymes. but he cant prenounce the words perfectly but say he is 4 out of 10. the melody is perfect. it was all very adorable but sometimes its very worrying to hear him blabber. i wonder if it is normal. i am quite anxious to know cause i did not experience this with my daughter. infact she started talking really well by this time. please advise. Thanks for reading.

Best regards

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!
