I have a 4 months old baby. I am a working lady n don' t want my baby to have too much of top feed now.Doctor asked me to start with fresh seasonal fruit juices. Any sugestion pls ?what all fruits can I give ..can mausambi and orange juice be given now.. they are citruis? mandeep replied. Yes i agree with neelima. Milk is must till babies r 6 months old if not breast milk then, formula. I know some mum' s do start early with soild(even i also did at 15 weeks) but i started with pureed carrots ,pureed apple or pear these three till my son was 6 months old and once he turned 6 months i start giving him products made of cow milk,but not cow milk as whole to drink and i use to give him in very small qauntity as i want him to have as much as milk he can till he is 1 year old. and no to orange or any citrus fruit but you can dilute orange juice in luke water if your baby suffered constipation after 6 months of age.
gauri replied. i agree with neelima..
first of all not to gv juice till 8 to 9 months atleast...2ndly ...fruit juice that too in this season..half of the time whatever u will gv to ur son will come out from his nose...joking..he will get cold...
so no no...
even if u add warm water to that juice tell me what will be use of it? will that satisfy ur babies hunger..
neelima is right u can gv formula...but its better u talk to ur doc ...about formula...
latogen shouldnt be a prob its qutie safe...u gv ur baby milk only ...
that too intorduce slowly ..say morning 11 am u gv 2 oz..n 5 pm 2 oz...slowly increase the timing,,
then whn ur sitll at home ...dont gv bm on ur duty time...say eg, my off timing are 8 am to 7 pm...whn my baby was use to outside milk..i stopeed giving bm btwn 8 to 7 ...after 7 i wud gv only bm...this i continued till six months...after six months i started solids...on my off days i use to do the same thing ..say sundays..i wundt feed bm btwn 8 to 7 ...otherwise my daughter use to harass everybody on monday ...she wud search for me... neelima replied. HI...WEANING SO is not recommended.try to store your breast milk in fridge and ask the caretaker to give it..or from the 5th month..give him lactogen(many will disagree with me on this)...but thats the only opption i think yu have....
as for juices juices cause diarrohea in babies...citrus fruits no..no..no..give them after he turns 1 to boost calories...i recommend only milk..milk////milk ...bye
