Hi Sukanta, at six months of age, you can start with few foods only to help baby accept food other than milk. You can start with iron rich green leafy vegetables soup. 2018-11-05 11:08:25

Puja Sharma Vasisht

Hi Anita, nutrition wise you can focus on giving breakfast of whole grain cereal like poha, upma, idli, dalia or oats porridge to keep his concentration level and focus in class. However, if the child is not taking interest in class/studies at all, please take advice of education counsellor. 2018-11-05 11:31:35

Hi Rohini, you may start with strained vegetable soup including green leafy vegetables , fresh fruit juice of apple or pomegranate. It should not be sour. 2018-11-05 11:12:56

Puja Sharma Vasisht

Boiled water can be given especially after each solid feed. Starting with a spoon or two you may gradually increase the amount to 120-250 ml in a day. 2018-11-05 11:17:24

Puja Sharma Vasisht

The baby would indicate that she is full by turning away her face or keeping her mouth shut. 2018-11-05 11:20:22

Puja Sharma Vasisht

You have to start with few spoons only. Introduce only one food at a time, by replacing one of your feed with solids give it for 3-4 days and only introduce another food. This would help the baby accepting and getting familiar with taste of that particular food. Do not introduce new foods back to back, it may confuse the child and would lower her acceptance. Keep enough gap between her feeds, be it solid or milk to ensure that she is hungry. 2018-11-05 11:21:47
