As the child grows so does his dietary needs. For the proper and healthy growth of a child it is very important that the parents add some nutritious as well as tasty dishes in their child’s diet plan.
The add-ons should be able to balance the need of all the required nutrition including proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins etc. At first the child will be a little rigid towards these new add-ons but gradually as he or she will develop taste towards these dishes then they will start eating them without showing any tantrums.
