My baby is 8 months old. Till date ive fed her only breast milk. Can anyone tell me till when i can introduce her to other types of food? Usha replied. My baby is 6.5 months old.I breast feed her twice a day..once in the morning and once before she sleeps.she relishes to drink juice from the bottle but she doesnt like to drink milk(lactogen) from the bottle.she accepts milk from spoon and if i try to give her directly from the cup she spills a lot .I feel that this way her milk consumption is very less.here I have started her on solids(cerelac,banana,papaya, mashed potato etc ...When can i completely stop breastfeeding her ?
What should i do to make her drink milk from the bottle.
Please HELP!! Priya replied. Hi. My baby is nine months old. I breastfed him exclusively till he was 5 months and started on solids since. You should start your baby on solids too. Solids does not mean the food we eat but boiled/mashed vegetables, mashed fruit, fruit juice, mostly paste like food. Introduce only new food a week. So your baby can accept the food and you will be able to see if she develops any allergies to any particular food. Start with fruits fruits. all babies love bananas. plus, this site has a list of foods that babies eat. but you can ask me if you have any further questions. Good luck. Priya replied. Forgot to mention this. You should continue breastfeeding till the baby is atleast one years old. You may continue after that also. But ofcourse, it is your and your babys wish. And when you wean, you should wean him gradually not suddenly. Sudha replied. Im really surprised uve not yet started ur baby on solids.Around 4 mths babies start showing interest in food-looking at what u are eating, dribbling saliva,feeding on milk more frequently than before etc- all these are the signs that ur baby is ready for solids.From 4-6 mths its advised to give smooth, mashed fruits, veges,rice etc but from 6-9 mths u should start coarser,thicker food and from 9mths lumpy food.these changes are v.important cos it helps in jaw developement and hence in speech.And also milk alone is NOT enough for the babys growth after 6mths.Hope this has helped and please start ur baby on solid food.Good luck! sudha replied. hi!just forgot to add that weaning doesnt mean stopping of milk but is the gradual replacement of milk by solids and shld ideally begin at 4-5 mths.But ur child shld have atleast a pint of milk till 5yrs of age though after 1yr it is more in the form of cheese,ghee, yoghurt etc. Pallavi replied. My son passes motion every alternate day. Is it normal. He is 6 months old.
