My daughter Lavanya is going to be 8 Mths soon - 28.04.2003
I have started on solid food 2 mths ago and realized that her weight was not increasing but stagnant
she is still 7.5 kgs for 8mths and she is a very active baby

At the moment She is drinking 130 ml of formulas milk. How much should 8mths baby should drink in a day??
Below is her daily menu

7.30 a.m - 150 ml - formula milk
10.30a.m. - 5 teaspoon rice cereal with one banana mashed or papaya mashed - 60 ml formula milk
1.30p.m. - 130ml formula milk
4.30p.m. - 6 teaspoon vegetable cereal with apple mashed or pear mashed - 60 ml - formula milk
7.30p.m. - 130 ml - formula milk
9.00p.m. - 1 biscuit deeped in some milk
10.30p.m. - 80 ml - formula milk

is she over fed,??? at the moment in total she is drinking about 610ml - 20 oz is that alright.
I am working mother - who has no time to prepare home food for my baby, i am only depending the commercial packed for baby.

Desperately looking for someone's advice for the above.
All replies will be greatly appreciated

manju mala replied. i have seen the chart,would like to add some suggestions to it.actually you are not giving like luncha and dinner.morning 7:30 milk is fine,at 10 give her breakfast like cereal or idli.then at 12:30 or 1 give her lunch.lunch includes rice +dhal+veggies.after an hour or so give her fruit.then as a snack give her milk and some biscuits.give dinner at 7:30 or 8.before going to sleep give a bottle of milk.just plan her diet as how we eat.that means milk,breakfast,lunch,snack,dinner and milk.try to introduce egg white.now she is going to complete 8 months you can start introducing new foods.
lunch recipe-- fry rice witjout oil in a pan,also fry toor dhal.grind the rice into small bits but not as a powder.now take dhal and rice and add some veggies like carrots or whatever you want you can also add potato.and add more amt of water and cook in a cooker.after cooling smash it and it becomes like a semisolid paste.try this.for any help you can post a message here.

take care.
