hi keerthiga.... plz observe the following and then take a call... is ur baby avoiding solids and showing an interest towards liquids like having more water or are u giving similar food everyday... is he eating something that makes him feel fuller (like milk is a heavy meal... a small glass of milk keeps a baby full till post noon).. r u still breastfeeding and is he interested in feeding from u... I've checked that u live in Salem... usually a very hot place ..has there been a change in temp coz heat also causes reduced diet and food intake.... if he prefers having liquids then plz substitute a lot if liquids in his diet till things settle... buttermilk, fruit juices, salads, water, tender, coconut water, barley water n sabudana malt should help... also check for his digestion is he suffering any indigestion then also babies don't eat well.... hope it helps

that means ur baby is interested in liquids.... then it's because of heat.... plz increase his liquids n give solids what he like to eat.... u can give milkshake too which will help him feel fuller n will reduce ur tension regarding his diet.... slowly as the heat goes down again start giving him solids well

try feeding him with a spoon... may b 2 spoons initially and then slowly increase it.. apart from that there are other options like watermelon juice, tender coconut water barley water, u can also give rice water I mean it ganji.... make it like a soup ..chill it dwn to room temperature and serve it with a drizzle of salt n pepper
