My son is going to be 8months by next week. Last week when we checked his wgt he was 6. 6.. mommies pls tell me how can I increase his wgt. He is on FM having similac. He had colic pain so I changed from Nan to Similac during his 3rd month. Since Nan was heavy for him to digest. Now I'm giving him solid foods like rice and raw banana porridge and mashed rice with dal. Apple's he is nt at all eating. Even for feeding porridge and rice I'm suffering a lot, once I get my hand or spoon towards his mouth he firmly closes his mouth and doesn't open at all. Pls tell me wat all can I give to increase his wgt and how could I proceed with it.

Try to change the way you present the food to him and also don't feed jald-jaldi. Give a gap of 3 hours between each and every meal.

We should't encourage our babies to watch TV while feeding. Since you are facing difficulties, I would suggest go for BabyTV, it's a lovely channel to watch for babies. Totally meant for our little ones but again don't let the baby watch it for more than an hour.
