Meal plan
My lo is 1yo and not eating well. Almost Everyday she only eat 1 meal and 3-5 spoons during dinner time. Please share how much food a 1 yo should be eating. TIA

Fussy eating is always a big worry for many mummies. My son was a fussy eater for a year plus. He only likes to eat fruits which may sound great but too much of anything isn’t. So I put raisins in his rice to encourage him to eat.. made fruity sauces which can be eaten with chicken, meat etc and also smoothies to include veggies. Keep introducing new foods alongside those that your lo already like. Some people would advice you to let her play with the food eg soft fruits or veggies for her to grab and feel the texture etc.. this is to introduce the food and allow her to play and get familiar with it. Also, look at her diet from a weekly point of view rather than daily. So in a week, if she has eaten some carbs, proteins, veges, fruits... then it’s a balanced diet already! if she is eating only small quantities, it is ok! Just keep offering different foods even if she rejects it. Allow her to decide how much she wants to eat. Also, if she is still drinking milk or breastfed... she is still getting her daily nutrients so don’t worry. When she gets older, you can start to reduce her milk intake.
