Madhu aks replied. Madhu - The diet looks good...I see no reason why u shd worry...if ur baby is active and is eating wht all u have metioned..dnt bother toomuch.
I see u are giving her dinner at 10:30 pm...is that the normal dinner time at ur place..in any case its too late for ur baby. at 830 u give her cerelac then why do u feel the need of khichdi n chapati at 1030? Instead at 830 give her dinner and at 1030 give some milk n put her to sleep.
also eating less lunch mite be due to the fact that she is having milk at 130..why not give her lunch at 2ish...instead?
Just my thots but u need to space out the meals so that she is hungry enuf to eat and dont try too hard to give her everything in one day :) I knw being a mom u wd want to.
Take care.
