Hi all,
This is my first message here.I am a working mother and was on leave for 5 months after my delivery. I gave birth to healthy baby boy of 3.2 kgs. Was not worried about my baby till last month. Though, i was not having enough breastmilk after 3 months but still i was managing and trying to give him formula feed. he weighed 7.12 kgs at 5months which ws a good weight. But after I joined work, my in-laws are taking care of the baby and I can feel that he is not getting the proper diet as his weight is 7.3 kgs at 6.5 moths. I started with some solid foods like cerelac and banana initially.How much times should we give them solid food and formula milk? What other solids can I start? I am really worried:-( Rahini replied. Hi Noopur Gulati,
i m able to know ur worries since u have repeated many times i think. I was on the same boat when i come from my mother' s place aft she did' nt put much weight so worried a lot .
But changes makes kids like tat since its his 6th month u can start rice and ragi , since i did.
Morning formula(make sure the scoop and water level are correct otherwise they too ll reduce weight)then ragi with ghee and jaggery then formula again or apple (boiled mashed since u r working u can prepare in morn and place in good container) then afternoon ric with dhal or rice kangi with vegetable(carrot , beetroot...) then even formula and then banana and night ragi with ghee and salt then ur milk in night too . give this every 2hrs gap.
Tell me ur suggestion if possible. since mine is in 8 months now.
