How can I get my child to love food?
Help your child build a healthy relationship with food by introducing new flavours and textures early on. And remember not to use food as a distraction, reward or punishment, but as fuel.

If your little one is constipated, you can try giving him/her 1 tsp of amla juice on an empty stomach first thing in the morning.

Stomach aches, abdominal swelling, painful bowel movements and loss of appetite are some signs of constipation in children.
How much does my child need to eat each day?
