Hi Hetal...yes u r rite these doc will never say anythin against their medicines..anyways i did follow your suggestions last nite...i applied the vicks on his chest,back and neck and thanks God he slept so nicely after that..and yesterday only i decided not to give more medicines and i am just fed up from these medicines...today i told my maid to boil water with basil leaves(1 small jug with two leaves i think ok na) and to give him that water...i had given him little honey mixed with tulsi and ginger juice yesterday two times..one in the morning and then at bed time..and as suggested by you giving him milk mixed with a pinch of haldi also...his cold is improving however he is having dry cough now...i am hoping that he will recover soon..these home remedies are best :)
one thing i want to ask can we give banana during cold and cough?

one thing i noticed that he is getting more constipated these days (during cold) although he used to pass hard stool since he has started his solids(he is 11.5 months old now)...and i am giving him everythin so that his poops are ok like papaya,peach,spinach soup etc. but i dont know the cause of hard stools
the diet i am following(i have seen all ur previous posts and took help from that)is
6:30 bf then he will sleep and i left for my work
8:00am formula(5-6oz)
10:00am oatmeal mixed with milk(i catori)/avocado juice (mixed with milk) then he goes to sleep
12:00-12:30pm curd (1 catori)
2:00pm veg soup(bottle gourd,carrot,beans,peas,spinach)with tadka of jeera,little salt mixed with cheese/ghee
4:00pm formula(5-6oz)and sleep
6:00 formula and then i reached home around 7:00 and he will take breast milk and used to play ...at bedtime i will give him khichdi/ceralac/soup

in between he takes lots of water as i said before he just loves to drink water.

this is his diet from last 2 months..now i have started giving him cornflakes(mixed grains) he took that one day and the other day he vomit out the whole...the problem is that he does not lumpy food at all..i tried boil potatoes also and he vomit out the whole...now i wanted to start something new but he does not like the lumpy food otherwise he is not a fussy eater

Is his diet seems ok to you?(i have stopped his cheese also i have seen on this board that cheese and ghee can cause constipation)

he is underweight too but as he is a active child his doc says it is okey.

pls suggest wat else i can start for him.
your suggestions are heartly welcome and thanks so much for your support and suggestions as i am living alone and he is my first child and i didn' t 9 anythin..i am learning things from this board only and people like you here are really appreciable...thanks to you na d indiaparenting board :)
