Hi Friends,
I am scared as my 7 month' s baby is losing his weight. Last month he has lost 2.5 kgs. He is too much active as never appear quiet and calm apart from sleeping time. He is on Formula Milk and Solid foods after 5 months.
My doc has suggested his daily food as below.
Formula milk 4-5 times per day.- 120 ml

Apple Puree OR Curd + Banana – Once a day

Heavy Food – 3 times a day

Sira of wheat flour which contains 2 tea spoon
ghee and 1 tea spoon flour which is little bit liquid type

OR

Dal + small Roti – Thick puree 120 ml

OR

Different type of dal + rice + veggies (Veg Khichdi) 120 ml

OR

Veg Soup (tomato, Beat, Cabbage, Matar, Fanasi, potato) OR Apple Puree OR Banana with Curd) – 120 m

Baby refuses to have sweet food. He is ready to take salty food but don’t take milk more than 40 ml. I try to give milk twice in day time and twice in night time.

He passes stools twice or thrice per day after feeding. Motion color appears as per food. For example after beat and tomato, it appears reddish, after khichdi, it appears cream color. Is it normal?
I heard that child should pass stool after 2-3 days. Frequent motion is sign of digestive problem. It occurs because food doesn’t digest and pass out thoroughly. So my child is not getting nutrition from food.
How much milk should he have for proper nutrition?
Please suggest me if my feeding system is wrong.
Awaiting for prompt response.
Vandana
