How to deal with a fussy eater?

If the fussy eater is a 1-year-old baby:
  • Try feeding him/her solid food at regular intervals. Say a small piece of watermelon, followed by bottled milk, oats porridge, water, banana, biscuit, etc.
  • Just make sure that you feed the kid after small intervals of at least 30 mins to 1 hour.
  • Encourage him/her to taste the meals that you have. He/She may end up liking them and having more than a mouthful.
  • Continue breastfeeding (if you are still doing it).
  • Allow them to play around a lot; this makes them hungry.

If the fussy eater is your spouse

  • :- (Please let them not make out that you are frowning inside x-( )

If the fussy eater is some elder in your home

  • :- (Please let them not make out that you are frowning inside x-( )
