Komarovsky about the nutrition of a child after a year

Dr. Komarovsky focuses on parents on such moments in relation to food:

What the child will get used to eating up to 1.5-2 years model the child’s nutrition in the future. The child at this age feeds on the fact that adults give him - and it is they who lay the foundations of the healthy and rational nutrition of the child.
A variety of nutrition does not mean the presence of many different products, exotic and delicacies in the diet. The diet should have all the main groups of products - milk, fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, cereals. If the menu presents the products of these main groups in sufficient quantities, then everything is in order with the variety in the diet.
The lack of appetite in a healthy child, Dr. Komarovsky relates to problems more pedagogical than medical ones. In this case, the doctor recommends a simple recipe - stop feeding and give the child the opportunity to “walk” the appetite, eliminating the possibility of “snacks” until the next main meal.
