 Hello everyone, so in this part we are going to discuss about some of the recipes for toddlers from 12 months to 18 months and from 18 months to 24 months and you know one thing we have to kind of keep in mind that as children grow they understand the independence you know and they start kind of demanding food that they would like you know so this is kind of a difficult stage you know for parents, for mothers and for children also because you know they would start kind of demanding that you know they would reject certain food, they would like certain food you know they would have moods, they would eat sometime, so it is kind of a difficult phase for everyone. What I recommend is that after one year of age you know children should eat with the family in a sense that they should sit on the table or wherever you know wherever they are sitting for their meals they all should have their own plate children should not be feeding from mother's plate this is what I recommend they should see how other people eat you know I try not to kind of force feed the child, let child kind of eat on their own or on his own or on her own and you know just encourage that behaviour another thing is that you know they look at how people eat, so if people are eating you know everything from the pot say roti, sabji, chawal, dal whatever that you are prepared you know whatever that you are prepared for home you know I recommend that you give same food to children okay do not make special food, do not get into that habit of providing special food to children, so that one thing that I want you to keep in mind another thing is that you know many times as I mentioned in my previous part also that they may not want to kind of eat you know many times they would like you know they would throw tantrums they would just not eat and that would create lot of anxiety in mothers actually you know so do not worry too much do not try to substitute kind of encourage them to eat from family food whatever that they have prepared you can now start adding salt I still do not recommend sugar and jaggery you know those are empty calories and you do not want to kind of create that taste part which is kind of very you know sensitive to sweet food so I do recommend not to add any of the sweet food I also do not recommend to add purees fruit purees in regular food you know give them fruit maybe after the meal just maybe one or half a fruit after the meal as a dessert just one probably just one time not not I do not recommend giving too many fruits at with every meals you know but avoid it to kind of make a puree and add it in children's food because that would make the food very sweet and then they tend to become picky eaters so that's one of the way to avoid picky eating one more thing which I also recommend is that when children suppose don't eat there on their own say they they had few bites and they did not finish their food so I do recommend that mothers should basically patiently feed children with their hand after they've finished eating on their own I don't kind of recommend and I do see it and lot of tribals that you know they give some food in children's mouth or children's hand and then they leave them alone and then children eat little bit and then you know they are they are just playing I don't recommend that I do recommend that to let children eat on their own but if they don't finish it then slowly mother can try to feed if children don't want to eat then don't force feed but we try to finish as you know at least the requirement for that age group and suppose for example for a one-year-old they required about 250 grams of cooked meal five times a day so if they don't finish it in five times you can give it even in six or seven times I should not be problem but I try to again you know nutrient density is more important so if you're giving say one egg that one egg will be will give lot of nutrients good amount of six to seven grams of protein you know lot of vitamins and other minerals and all so if you know you cannot compare that to chowal and rice or chowal and dal you know which are what dals are generally very watery so you cannot compare those you know so I do recommend this children are eating lot more nutrient dense food like if suppose children are eating say good amount of rajma with little bit of chowal or some millet you know that's a good substantial meal you know then you don't have to chase them within an hour or two that okay now eat something else you know so it all depends upon what kind of food child has eaten for the meal again you know encourage children to eat on their own no sugar no jaggery salt is fine salt is fine to taste and variety of food make different recipes you know for the whole family not just for a child we have created you know recipes in the form of you know millet dosas and tikis and you know we have used very nutrient dense ingredient for this recipes so you try it you know let children have a finger foods also the finger foods also very important at this age make sure that you do not puree your food okay because when you puree your food this children they don't learn to bite okay so now by eight seven half eight months of age they should learn to chew their food and after one year of age it should be absolutely table food I don't recommend absolutely purring any food because we do see many many children even at the age of three years four years they continue to eat you know pureed food and then then we have to kind of you know unlearn them make them unlearn about you know how to just gulp down the pureed food and how to chew so that's a very difficult cases that we have seen actually in US we see a lot but over India also I do see a lot of cases who come with you know older children just eating pureed food okay so enjoy all these recipes try when adults can have these recipes is not necessarily meant only for one to two year of age so enjoy and thank you bye welcome to the spoken tutorial on vegetarian recipes for 12 to 18
