Dear Hetal and other members,

I am new to this board. I live in India. I was a member of EXPECTING PARENTS-TRYING SINCE LONG DISCUSSION BOARD . I have a baby girl she is going to complete nine month in another 10 days. I exclusively breast fed her for 6 months and I am still BF her. I started her weaning process after she completed 6 months but she refuses to eat solids. She just has 2-3 spoons of cerelac or ragi or khichdi orsome fruit etc and then she refuses to eat and wants breast milk.

Her birthweight was 3.1 kg and now she weighs 7.17 kg , her weight has not increased since 1.5 months and she looks very lean and thin. She has 2 lower teeth and now her upper tooth is erupting.

I need your help in the following matter.

Please suggest diet with measurements and timings (1 teaspoon or tablespoon for solids semisolids puree or oz for liquids) for my 9 month old

How to wean her from breast feeding and make her eat solids alongwith breast milk. THIS IS THE MAJOR CONCERN FOR ME. I am a housewife and can breast feed her. Do i need to start formula milk or cow' s milk in order to increase her weight.

How to train her having liquids ? currently i give her water with spoon.

Also suggest some recipes in order to make her eat.


Awaiting your valuable suggestions

Thanks

Madhu

aks replied. Madhu - pls relax...this is a phase will pass. Soon ur baby will eat well...n then some days she will be fussy...this will go on like this only n its normal :) so pls relax. Dnt bother abt the weight as long as or ped is not worried. U can add ghee to her food n even try threptin biscuits..may b soak in milk or water one in two days or even less. all the best n take care. gauri replied. i think ur very tensed about ur daughters weight, she is jsut 6 moths she is so small...
since you are housewife you can continue bf along with formula but with doc advice. secondly, she is very small its absolutely normal that she eats 2 -3 spoons of solids, 3 problem is teething babies milk intake or solid intake gets affected soemtimes they refuse for milk whole day.
and the most important thing is babies main diet should be from milk milk and milk for 1 year, solid you can offer say early morning, afternoon and at night its more than enough

but i would suggest that you give her formula milk along with bm coz right now she is growing and bm is not enough for her
and pls take it easy on weight dont compare your baby with others aslong as you r baby is active, playing doesnt cry all ht time, sleep well everything is ok wiht her
