Breast milk is the best food for a baby up to 6 months of age after which the child needs additional nutrition and hence mashed semi-solid food is to be added. Milk becomes an optional food ingredient after 1 year of age provided that adequate nutritive diet is given. At the age of 18 months, the child basically needs a slightly mashed version of adult food low on spices. No need to provide milk or health supplements. Curd or yogurt is helpful. Do not worry about diabetes in a child if the child has proper play habits along with fiber rich diet. Child Chat Doctor.
