Hi All,

My 7months old daughter' s weight 6.8kgs. Since prev month, she has put up 450gms. Her diet is as follows.

11Am - 1.5 Scoop Nestum Rice + Cooked, Mashed Apple Slice + 45ml NAN2

1Pm - 1.5 Scoop Nestum Rice + Cooked,mashed Carrot / potato piece + 45 ml Nan 2

7pm - 2 scoop Nestum Rice + 60ml Nan2

Rest of the day on Nan2 formula which comes to a total of 450-460ml milk.

The problem is that she doesnt accept more quantity of cereal or milk at a feed like 3/4 scoops or 4/5oz of milk. i' ve to give her small feeds, frequently. Can u pls suggest what items shud i include in her diet so that her weight gain is better. pls respond.

thanks
