1.Is channa ok for kids.
Reply : start mashed,strained after 15months.if child seems to be gassy, wait more.
you can however start the roasted channa that can be eaten as a snack without cover(remove the cover by giving a gentle pressure and blowing it off), get the ones that comes with a lemony flavour in store or roast with a lil lemon and salt..nirja loves them..dont gv them too much,,just some 4-5 of them esp during teething,,they are good in health too.
you can start with kabuli channa and thn later black channa...

2.Tips for changin bottle to sippy cup/straw cup

3.Frm which month can kids be trained for potty & some tips to encourage it.
reply--from the month you think your child is showing signs of potty trainingg..nirja started from 8th month so i started for her that early..
those tips too have written a lot,,browse thru the bowel n bladder board to a couple pages and i am sure you will get lots of ideas not only from me but also from early potty trainers like 5-6months and on...thanks for your patience.

4.abt Self feeding he want to do it but sometimes to finish his meals fast i dont,started too early will he eat well or satisfy his hunger.
Reply ---- as long as you know how much is his capacity, dont worry, kids dont like to stay hungry,,try offerng food 5mins before thr meal times, which will not only make them eat with calm mind but finish thr meals on time ! or else they will gulp in frustratn of filling thr bellies ! avoid that.let them enjoy the food.
if you arent sure that he finishs his meals, offer snack times to eat on his own..best way to know if he finishes,,as the qty is little, kids oftn finish them,,try increasing the qty at the next offering n let them feed themselves atleast that amt of food,,rest feed them after 5 mins or so by diverting them, if you think that he didnt eat well. but dont force..he will come back to you, if he didnt eat !

sry about asking you to browse thru the old posts n keep you waiting..things are really hectic so cant afford to put my mind much in work :)

nirja is 28months and samarth will be 9mnths by this 18th.thnaks for wishes..
