Are the Threptin Junior Diskettes safe for 18 months baby?
Dr Bayyarapu Kumar

Threptin Junior Diskettes should only be given to an 18-month-old child under the recommendation of a paediatrician, as they are protein-rich supplements designed for specific needs such as poor weight gain, illness recovery, or diagnosed nutritional deficiencies. In healthy toddlers, unnecessary supplementation may lead to excessive intake of protein and other nutrients, potentially straining developing organs and disrupting natural appetite and dietary habits. For most children at this age, a well-balanced diet provides sufficient nutrition. Natural sources of protein, such as milk, yoghurt, eggs (if safely, lentils, tofu, paneer, nut butters, and whole grains, are better suited to support healthy growth while also offering essential vitamins, minerals, and fibre.
