Indian Diet Plan for Toddlers (1 to 3 years)
The best indicator that your toddler is getting adequate nourishment is her regular weight gain, growth, general appearance and contentment.
Thinking of which foods are healthier for your baby will be much easier for you by now, as you will be an expert on which foods your child is best able to cope with. All the foods groups, viz. cereals, pulses, fruits, vegetables and milk are equally important and are extremely healthy for your child.
An adequate amount of these food groups will ensure a healthy growing child. Very few of us really know the intake required by our little toddlers. The daily food guide that follows will help you to know the right amount of food for your child.
1. Cereals and their flours : Whole wheat, unpolished rice, jowar, bajra, ragi (nachni), bulgur wheat (dalia), buckwheat are some healthy cereals which should be included in your toddlers diet.

5. Nuts and Oilseeds: Almonds, cashewnuts, walnuts, sesame seeds (til), peanuts, dates, figs, apricots etc. Include a few of them for sure. They are a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Try Til Chikki. Make small pieces and let them nibble on it. Be careful that it doesn’t choke.
6. Dairy Products: These include milk, curd, paneer and cheese. Most kids grown up drinking at least 2 glasses of milk per day. Teach them to include curd in their diet.

After waiting all these months, your little baby has turned one!!
This is a huge milestone – both for baby and the parents. Turning one now makes your baby officially a toddler, and he’s probably already toddling around the home – faster than you can catch him!
Your little one’s life is going to change as she continues to grow rapidly, and the biggest change is going to be in the area of food. From now on, your baby is ready to have all the foods that were restricted for babies under one. Which means it’s time for a brand new food chart!
By now your baby is already having most household meals except for those restricted foods and now you can go ahead and feed your baby everything you make for the rest of the family, with less salt and spices. Of course, it is important to consider things like food allergies and choking hazards, and we recommend consulting your child’s pediatrician in case of any doubt.
So the list of foods to avoid has significantly decreased, but toddlerhood brings with it new challenges, especially fussy eating. Your baby is going to be more adamant about his likes and dislikes, and you’ll have to use quite a bit of creativity to work around it.
Toddlers tend to have phases where they eat only one food and reject everything else. In this situation, nutritional deficiencies are a real risk, but you can keep them away by adding a supplementary food like a multigrain health drink or dry fruits powder which ensures many vital nutrients in a small amount.
It is recommended to continue breastfeeding for as long as you and your baby are comfortable, but if you are planning to wean, consider weaning your toddler gently to avoid distress. If you’re planning to start potty training, get all the tips in our ultimate potty training guide.
The food chart we’ve created here includes recipes common in most Indian households. Finger Foods still make the best snacks, and it’s also important to ensure your baby drinks sufficient water throughout the day.

After a year, most children already have 6-8 milk teeth, which means that it is time to introduce more solid food into the diet. When organizing the nutrition of a child from 1 year old, it is necessary to take into account his increasing needs for energy and vitamins. Indeed, at an early age, a child needs building material for his body. Yes, and the volume of the stomach of the crumbs has increased, the digestive capacity of the gastrointestinal tract has increased, the intestinal microflora is gradually returning to normal.
CONTENTS
1. Weekly menu for children 1 year old
2. Some rules of nutrition
3. An approximate set of products for one day for children 1-1.5 years old
4. How to make a diet?
Of course, it is not necessary to introduce food in pieces immediately. For example, from mashed potatoes and milk, you need to smoothly move on to puddings, casseroles and mousses.
Another important point: food prepared the day before loses most of its nutritional and beneficial properties, so the child needs to cook every day. Yes, it will take more time and effort than warming up a jar of baby food, but you are investing in the most precious thing you have - in children's health.
Milk and dairy products play an important role in the nutrition of children from 1 year old. As before, the diet of crumbs is based on them (taking into account all dishes, the consumption of dairy products should be 600 ml / day). If you have stopped breastfeeding by the year, then mother's milk can be replaced with special milk formulas for children after a year. Children's curds, yogurts, kefirs will become relevant.
As for meat or fish, these products must be included in the baby's daily diet. It is from them that the body receives the protein necessary for growth. Fish can be given 1-2 times a week, on other days - meat.
Fruits and vegetables remain a source of vitamins and trace elements, which can already be gradually given raw in the form of juices or salads.

The change in the diet occurs as follows: to train the chewing apparatus, more dense and solid food is introduced, and liquid and semi-liquid are gradually reduced.
To prevent your baby from turning away from a new dish, try to resort to a simple rule: food should look attractive and smell delicious. It is the aroma and appearance of the “goodies” that trigger the production of gastric juice. By the way, bright dishes will serve as an excellent assistant in this matter.
During the meal, do not put all the prepared dishes in front of the baby, the baby should receive the next portion only after he has eaten the previous one.
Make at least one meal a family meal, even if the child's overall diet does not match yours.
Gradually teach your child to set and clear the table. A three-year-old baby can already be asked to wash the dishes.
One-day meal plan for children aged 1-1.5
Sugar | g | 40 |
Salt | g | 3 |
It is necessary to draw up a menu for a child at 1 year old based on his needs: at the age of 1-1.5 years, a child needs only 1000-1200 g of food, and this is not counting liquid dishes (150-200 ml of juice, 300 ml of tea, 300 ml of milk) Milk porridges and soups are good for breakfast, especially with the addition of fruits or dried fruits. An ideal dish would be lazy dumplings, as well as any omelettes or salads with eggs. By the way, salads in baby food should be seasoned with sour cream or vegetable oil, not mayonnaise. In addition, they need to be cooked immediately before serving.
If the child has any disorders in the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, then the menu should include pureed soups, cream soups and puree soups. By the way, any soup for a child is cooked on the second, or even on the third broth. For meat dishes, lean meats are preferred: turkey, chicken, lean veal. For fish dishes, also use low-fat varieties: sea bass, cod, pike perch, hake. Canned food, marinades and smoked meats are not desirable in cooking for a child.
Now about the sweet. Of course, who doesn't love sweets? And as soon as the child turns one year old, some grandmothers strive to treat the crumbs to something delicious. Sweets become the subject of constant disputes in the family. In this matter, the main thing is to stand your ground. Namely, excess sugar can lead to the development of diseases such as diabetes and obesity. So even in ready-made dishes it is worth adding jam or jam, and less sugar.
You should also not overdo it by increasing the child's portions. The entire required volume should be evenly divided during the day into 5-6 doses. If you reduce the number of meals by increasing portions, this can lead to indigestion and a deterioration in the appetite of the crumbs.
Breakfast 9.00 | 20-25% daily diet |
lunch 13.00 | 35-40% daily diet |
15% of the daily allowance | |
Late dinner 22.00 (23.00) | 5% of the daily ration |
At the same time, the qualitative composition of the diet should look something like this:
- Proteins - 20%
- Fats - 20%
- Carbohydrates - 60%
It is recommended to combine various types of cereals with milk - milk soups, milk noodles. You can use special children's yogurt in the diet of children - it contains valuable components: protein, fat and calcium, which are necessary for the development of the child. You can add fresh fruits and berries to yogurt.
Children's birthday menu: photos, recipes, dish ideas
How to make a child's birthday truly unforgettable? Gather his friends, come up with entertainment and, of course, treat everyone to something delicious. But pleasing little guests is sometimes more difficult than adult gourmets. Our article will come to the rescue. In it, we have collected 10 dishes that will enchant even the most capricious persons. Serve these treats for a kid's birthday party and no one will leave hungry.
Original canapés
Kids will appreciate the unusual serving, and adults will appreciate the ease of preparing the dish. Indeed, among the recipes for a children's birthday, it is important to have at least one option for a quick snack.

Snack Muffins
Children are rarely fans of vegetables. But thanks to such muffins, they will even eat the hated green beans or green peas. It's nice that you can change the toppings to your liking.

Chicken skewers
Homemade skewers continue the selection of recipes for children's birthdays. When preparing a marinade, remember that the child likes simple and understandable tastes more. A large set of seasonings, especially spicy, he will not appreciate. But vegetables will add benefits and make the meat juicier.
