 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 in on his own 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 have prepared you know whatever that you 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 and 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 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 is one of the way to avoid picky eating. One more thing which I also recommend is that when children suppose do not eat there on their own say 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 finished eating on their own. I do not kind of recommend and I do see it in 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 just playing I do not recommend that I do recommend that let children eat on their own but if they do not finish it then slowly mother can try to feed if children do not want to eat then do not force feed but we try to finish as you know at least the requirement for that age group and suppose for example for one year old they required about 250 grams of cooked meal 5 times a day, so if they do not finish it in 5 times you can give it even in 6 or 7 times it should not be problem but I tried to again you know nutrient density is more important, so if you giving say one egg that one egg will be will give lot of nutrients good amount of 6 to 7 grams of protein you know lot of vitamins and other minerals and all, so if you know you cannot compare that to chawal and rice or chawal and dal you know which are what dals are generally very watery, so you cannot compare those you know, so I do recommend if children are eating lot more nutrient dense food like if suppose children are eating say good amount of rajma with little bit of chawal or some millet you know that is a good substantial meal you know then you do not have to chase them within an hour or two that ok 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 the 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, so finger foods also very important at this age make sure that you do not puree your food ok because when you puree your food this children they do not learn to bite ok, so now by 8, 7, half, 8 months of age they should learn to chew their food and after 1 year of age it should be absolutely table food, I do not recommend absolutely pureing any food because we do see many many children even at the age of 3 years 4 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 is a very difficult cases that we have seen actually in US we see a lot but over in India also I do see a lot of cases who come with you know older children just eating pureed food ok, so enjoy all these recipes try when adults can have these recipes is not necessarily meant only for 1 to 2 year of age, so enjoy and thank you bye.
