Re: menu for 2years old..

My 2 yr old lovessss pastas. With veggie and chicken. Sometimes I make it in white sauce. Soup with veggies, I’ll give it with bread or boiled rice.
you can take pita bread add pizza sauce, cheese veggies chicken, bake in oven.
Also chicken salan with roti, or with rice. Rice cooked in broth and veggies.
Eggs-boiled/scrambled. Cereals/cornflakes, French toast.
try other fruits, apples, grapes etc. milk shakes.
yoghurt

just keep trying different things to see what she likes.

My daughter loves paratha :smiley: Anything stuffed in a paratha she’ll eat.
Mac n cheese is a hit too. Broccoli, sweet peas, corn, tomatoes etc she loves to eat.
Try bite sized foods. My daughter doesn’t like me feeding her … she’s not a fan of cereals or rice. She loves to eat with her hands and prefers bite sized foods that are easy to eat .. like nuggets etc.

Have you tried giving her what you’re eating? Many 2yo don’t need a separate menu, tho some do.

Also, how much milk does she have a day? Weaning her off the bottle might help her eat more balanced meals.

I recently started giving her fish fingers and she is loving them. she takes oats wth apples or French toast , pratha in breakfast, fruit cocktails. no more cereals for her,she only takes wheatabix.

whenever you are having meal yourself put some in her mouth also,like my baby wants everything whatever going in my mouth.

Re: menu for 2years old..

inshallah I will steam broccoli for kids today. The problem is that she is a picky eater. She doesn’t eat any desi food. Keeps on saying mirchi hai mirchi hai, though I put soo little. I must prepare some thing separate for her nd feed her with hand in front of tv…these days I’m running out of ideas. Thanks for the tips

Re: menu for 2years old..

i am not able to understand wht you mean by how will you manage it?

18

Re: menu for 2years old..

she should be eating whatever you eat. Don’t make a seprate menu for her. Just lessen the spices in the food.

Re: menu for 2years old..

She is have 720ml of milk a day, i think the requirement for a 2 year old is 500ml. That may be affecting her meal times so try cutting out two feeds during the day.
