hi Pallavi,

I just read your reply to me in the post below..seems you are also a bit tensed like me regarding your daughter' s refusal to eat..after i read all your posts..i felt bit relaxed n easy..i tried various tricks on my baby and played with her..she was again refusing food yesterday..but i was determined to be smiling and be patient..and guess what ? she ate all three meals that i offered her..though she ate only half, i was so happy that she atleast ate..one thing i tried for her is that i made her hungry more yest..i.e i increased the gap between her meals so that she can eat n it worked..so you also just be patient, have faith in god..e' thing will be fine..babies are never the same e' day their behaviour keeps changing that is what i learnt yest.
as a mother its upto us to be calm n give them the best in e' thing..ya we may become depressed again if this problem again but we have remind ourselves that we r their for our babies n our babies need us a lot..
i hope this helps..by the way it seems from your surname that you are a gujarati. is it? i m also gujju . now in bangalore..where r u located ? Pallavi replied. Hi Puja,
My problem still exists.My daughter is not eating anythng.Whenever i tried to feed her solids she keeps it in mouth for several minutes and then finally throws out maximum.She refuses to eat anythng that i give her.I feel she is gastric..dont know what to do? As such she is happy and playful but gets hungry fast as she isnt on any solid diets..She is been breast fed completely...kya karu?Pls advice.I m very upset.I Tried all methods...engaged her in games,songs,tv etc...but nothin worked so far...help pls ! PUJA replied. hi there,
your daughter is nearly 7 months old..
here goes my routine..
she wakes up at 7 am-- feeds on BM
9-9:30-- breakfast - either cerelac or rice or ragi porridge (all natural and homemade)
1 pm-- lunch-- rice with curd n veggies
5 pm--banana with youghurt or milk..mashed ofcourse
8:30 pm-- khichadi with veggies or dal with veggies ( moong dal)
veggies i started are spincach carrots and corn..
i m struggling a lot with fruits. she likes only bananas..u can try mangoe puree with yoghurt..papaya. apple and muskmelon..hope she eats..
in between this routine i offer BM irrespective of her demand..6 am morning..7 am..(she is desperate for BM only in morning) then at 4 pm and then at 7 pm..
u can try out my routine..to start with introduce her 2 meals a day and so u will cut down 2 BF sessions..let it go like this for 10 days or so..then eventually introduce one more meal say breakfast or snacks..so one more session will decrease..be systamatic in timings..go gradually..no hard n fast rules..just follow your baby' s appetite..
make her play after meals so that she gets hungry for another..have a gap of 3-4 hrs between meals..in between them offer BM..
if your daughter' s routine is haphzard then start with good routine right from morning taking a new day..offer only one type of foods for 5-6 days continously and then change the menu..coz starting n trying new things e' day makes babies confused and they end up eating less..
i have made that mistake in past n so i m going slow with my baby..
just be patient and calm ..things wil fall in place with time..i hope my reply helps you in some way..do tell me your experience..
regards,
puja mehta..

Hi Puja,Thanks for ur reply ! I guess my daughter' s stomach is bit upset boz she' s just taking BM and nothing else.Even a single bite of banana which she likes a lot makes her vomit...Hope this time passes soon.Anyway thanx for ur help.Whn is ur daughter' s b day?Mine is 2 dec.And ya ,i m not gujju.My husband is from Baroda and myself from Delhi.He is also not a gujju but born & brought up in baroda.So he is no less than a gujju.We are basically baniya,hindu from UP side.My surname b4 marriage is gupta.Presently i m in New jersey.
I m now tryin to just BF my daughter for a day or two till she gets ok...
Hope we both face a gud time with our daughters! All the best...
