hi Irfana Farheen! hope u r doing good! I do understand your concerns. u can express milk and it can be given in a glass by any other family member and if that's not feasible, u could try packed milk or cow's milk( if it suits him) . try serving him initially during day time and if he is able to digest it well, serve him at night as well. serve him dinner around 7 -7. 30 pm and milk around 10 pm . in order to stop breastfeeding , u could apply ginger extract or some other bitter thing on breasts, the tatse of which child would not like and within 3/4 days he would avoid taking it. hope this will be of help to u!

hi again! some children are allergic to ingredients in cerelac. it's advisable to avoid giving it and instead she could try mashed banana, rice and moong Dal khichri( semi solid), Dalia, boiled and pureed apple, papaya etc. please try one dish at a time, and begin with few spoons to see the response and if baby is able to digest it well, gradually increase the quantity. she needs to give for at least 7-10 days for the baby to develop it's taste. once the baby is settled with this dish , she could try a new one.

hi Reshma Razaq! how r u! u could add colour, design, variety and novelty to her meals and fun to mealtime. Reshma some children are fussy eaters and it takes extra efforts from parents to feed them . avoid use of gadgets to feed her, rather involve her in a story and enact by becoming an animal or a bird or even her favorite character at times. keep in mind her choice and preferences. or u could play a puzzle with her or involve her in any activity . avoid force feeding her as she might get averse to food. keep praising her and saying positive words to her and avoid scolding her . hope this will be of help to u!
