Welcome to the @Sarika forum !!
I am very sorry that you are going through this situation, but I am glad that you have found this space where to share and learn from the experience of other fathers and mothers who have gone through the same.
I understand perfectly how overwhelming it can be at first, especially with such a young little girl.It's great that you already have daily monitoring with the Dexcomg7, that is a great step to keep glucose levels controlled.
As for food, the key is to go little by little and with great patience.At this age, it is normal for babies to have days in which they prefer certain foods over others.My recommendation would be to try to maintain a variety of options and allow your little to experiment with different textures and flavors.Here are some tips that can help:
1. Meal planning: keep a record of what your child eats and how it affects your glucose levels.This will help you identify patterns and adjust your diet as necessary.
2. Small quantities: offers small portions of different foods.Sometimes babies need time to adapt to new flavors and textures.
3. Low carbohydrate foods: incorporates low carbohydrate foods that can help maintain stable glucose levels, such as soft vegetables, added sugar -free purees, and soft proteins such as chicken or fish.
4. Consult with a nutritionist: if you have not yet done so, you could consider talking to a nutritionist specializing in children's diabetes.They can offer you a personalized eating plan and specific tips for your little one.
5. Patience and flexibility: Do not be discouraged if some days do not eat as you expected.It is a learning process for both her and you.
