Hi Mam.Are raw sugar cubes better option than white sugar for tea , coffee or for other sweet items?Can it be included in kids foods Too?Man also please kindly suggest veg diet foods which can curb hunger & also don't increase weight. Thanking U In Advance
Avanee Parekh
Darshana
White sugar is definitely not a good choice for any of us. Yes you can try palm sugar, coconut sugar, or dates syrup as an alternative. Add these to your tea or coffee after you have poured them in your cup.
Yes they can be used for kids as well.
So foods rich in fibre and proteins help curb hunger and maintain weight. So that means vegetables and fruits in Raw or steamed or stir fried forms help. example: Fruits eaten with skin, atleast 2 fruits in a day. salad vegetables in raw or stir fried form as in between snacks.
to improve the protein value of your meals add steamed sprouts, low fat paneer, curd, to your salad meals.

my girl baby is 2.5months old..when shall we give omam water to baby? For baby's acidity pain , what is the remedy?what are the foods to b taken for Feeding mother? what r the foods not to be taken for feeding mother?
Avanee Parekh
Omam water can be given one to two teaspoons alternate days or as the situation of colic arises.
For acidity pain give water in which black raisins have been soaked overnight, hand mashed the next morning, strain and given 2 to 3 tea spoon to the baby.
Feeding Mothers have to eat a complete nutritious diet every single day. All the Nutrients matter and especially calcium, Proteins and Iron would be the highlight. eg: include roasted Black til as a mouth freshener and eat it especially when you are feeding the baby. Saunf (Fennel Seeds) roasted is an excellent Galactogog. Roasted Makhanas is also a good option. Besides this Galactogos, a feeding mother must have ample of Fluids, not cold ones. So considering the summer season good options would be Cocum Sharbat, Saunf ka Sharbat, Butter milk, nimbu pani, coconut water andfresh fruit juice. besides this remember to drink 2 to 3 ltrs of plain water. As far as food is concerned have one to two glasses of low fat milk. you may add satavarex if needed. Have four meals a day, 2 fruits and a handful of dry fruits.
Good and enough sleep, a happy mind help better milk production.

hi mam my baby is teething...she is not eating well also she had a fever for two days ...plz suggest me diet that she would like to eat .....she is 10 months now
Avanee Parekh
Hi Aqsa, Loss of appetite is a common symptom during teething. Mild fever, Mild loose motions too can occur. supplement the diet with liquid foods eg: Lassi, butter milk, Fruit Yogurts, porridge with mashed fruits in it, Kheer, mashed fruits, Plain curd, fresh fruit juices are good options besides water. Continuing Brest feeding helps at this time.

Hi dear, a nine month baby is ready to have all fruits, sabudana, dal rice, dal roti, curd rice, Kheer and curd. So start introducing them in small amounts right away you can add a small amount of Sugar or salt to the required dishes. Please remember to give enough water to the child as it is full summer.

Lunch can be daal roti subzi or daal rice. add a small katori of curd every day.
Evening Snack can be roasted makhanas, Milk Shake, Milk with Corn flakes, bread butter, only fruits.

Hi mam i have to fast as its ramadan . i am breast feeding my baby girl of 6 months old are there any specific items i should include in my diet and i am introducing cerelac also but just one feeding
Avanee Parekh
Fakeeha breast feeding needs ample of fluids and a good balanced diet. With the discipline of Ramadaan, it would get difficult to maintain the above in which case it might be hard on you as well as the child's nutrition. Six months is a right age to introduce weaning foods. In addition to one meal cerelac, introduce mashed fruits, Suji ki kheer, pureed daal rice and plain curds to maintain the baby's nutrition. you can also provide 1 to 2 teaspoons of water every two hours religiously to the baby.

Hello madam my son is 6yrs old he is picky eater, he is not eating all vegetables, how can I make him to eat all vegetables, he is restricted with gluten food so what are the foods I have to restrict him, and he is diagnosed with adhd so wt are the foods I have to give him and what are the foods to avoid.
Avanee Parekh
Hi , Even if the child is eating 5 to 6 vegetables its okay. try grating vegetables into parathas, cutlets, sandwiches.
Foods with Guten: wheat rotis or parathas, the regular bread we get in market, Suji, biscuits. Its best to read the ingredient list of packaged foods to understand the gluten content.
ADHD, I understand is part of every child's growth. Be calm with your child. Keep him engaged in play and mindful activities, games. feed him minimum of packaged and ready to eat foods. Encourage 2 to 3 fruits in a day and plenty of water.

Hello doc, my baby is about to be 11months in a week,she wakes up late in the morning about 9 and i feed her cerelac from 9 - 10 am and again after 2.5hr I feed her dal and rice or khichdi and 3 hrs later she is fed with 120 mo milk and 1.5 hrs later we feed her apple puree and 2 hrs later again 100 ml of milk then home made cerelac after 1 hr at the time between 8:30. -9:00 pm and cerelac again at 11:30 pm.Is the feeding okay. Also her gums are swellen since 2 months what can we do for the teeth to arrive soon
Avanee Parekh
Remove 100 ml of milk feed that you have mentioned at that time feed the home made cerelac. and 9 pm can be some kheer or milkshake. Avoid 11.30 pm meal completely.
I hope that you keep her gums cleaned by wiping with a damp handkerchief post each meal. You cannot do much about the time when the tooth erupts

hi mam my baby turned 6months recently started on fruit puree .once in a while is passing hard stool any remedy for this one day she will be ok with same fruit other day she will be having this prob
Avanee Parekh
As the baby is 6 mths old nutrition requirements increase. Firstly, you can boil a small piece of gondh in water, bring it to room temperature and feed 2 teaspoons every 4 hours. Besides the pureed fruit give strained butter milk and top milk. since the baby's digestive system is getting accustomed to newer foods such instances happen for some time. Giving Fluids as mentioned above help.

hello, my baby is 6.5 months have started solid food since past 15 days.. intially we started with 2 meals but now because his high appetite we have shifted to 3 top feeds a day. 3 are proper semi liquid and one is fruit or vegetable puree. first few days he was ok but recently he has started getting constipated and passes clay like stool several times a day and he has to put pressure while pooping. kindly suggest if there are any specific food which we can give him or should we alter his diet plan? also, he is giving trouble to have plain water ,hence what can be done for the same?
doctor kindly suggest since when can we start giving prunes or dried fig or almonds in small quantities to the baby
Avanee Parekh
All you need to do is supplement the diet with more fluid option like Buttermilk, Suji ki Kheer, Milkshake, add one more pureed fruit and a katori of plain curd. Give 2 spoons of water every two hours to the baby. Figs or prunes after the baby completes 1 year.
