Hi! this is the first time am posting a message here. My son turns 5 months in a weeks time. I have been feeding him Farex for breakfast.For luch its either moong dal pani or fruits..like mashed banana, steamed & pureed apple, steamed & pureed carrot. I am confused ...my ped says give him anything you eat but others say start veggies and then fruits...My son eats quite eagerly...infact literaly asks for more...what veggies should I give him ? Please help...some kinda schedule would be nice. Jichi replied. dear neethu,

U can give Carrots, Green Beans Peas, Potatoes, Squash, Sweet Potatoes. After 7 or 8 months, u can give other veggies.

hope this might be helpful to u.
with love,
jichi




Jichi replied. hi mona,

do give breast milk till ur son is 1 yr old. if u r not able to do so, do give him formula. because, they get the nutrients only from breast milk or formula for the first one year.

make ur baby drink from bottle, when he is in his half sleep or first u feed him and when he starts sucking, transfer to bottle.

all the best,
jichi Jicho replied. hi neethu,

my son is almost five months now. till the first year, babies need more formula / breastmilk. u must try the solid foods, just to make them used to the taste.

am giving solids to my son. this is his schedule.
3 am - breast feeding
6 am - formula feeding
9 am - Rice cereals
12noon - breastfeeding
3pm - mashed veggie carrot, pototatoes, etc and after some time, formula
7 pm - breast feeding
10 0r 11 pm - formula

first start with vegetables and then go for fruits, because, if they taste fruits first, they will never like vegetables. Mona Singhal replied. My son is 4.5 months old.

Till when should I continue breastfeeding him and what semi liquid food and in what qunatity I should give him.Please reply as soon as possible.
