Q: How do I introduce vegetables and new nutritional dishes to my 2.5-year-old baby girl as she is very lean? She is only 12 kg. Please suggest.

A:Some babies don't like cooked vegetables. You could try salads instead especially cucumber and carrot. You would also try putting vegetables in the form of cutlets or stuffing them into a parantha.
