Hi
My son is going to be 6 months by next week. I startd rice cereal since he was 4 months but suddenly from the last week he is not taking cereal. He even refuses milk too. I feed him milk when he is half asleep. He is at his teething stage and wants to take everything in his mouth and I guess because of this he has stooped taking solids. Is there any way I can make him eat??? He takes 20 oz of milk in 24 hours. Is he taking enough???
Please advice me soon. Waiting for reply.
Regards
Kavita

i have a 15 month old girl..even i am facing this problem from her 11th month. she survives on milk and juice. i try each and everything with her..but in vain ! we consulted so many doctors they said, there is nothing to worry about.
So don't worry about this. this is normal with some kids. Maybe it will take time to come back to their normal schedule. Never force your kid ..it only makes them more aggressive.
You can try varieties..biscuits, chocolates etc. you can give juices, milk very often since there is no intake of solid food.
we need not worry because if there is something wrong inside, it will surely show up as fever or something else in kids..this is either because of teething or your kid has started exploring his new world..that's all.

If he takes 20oz of milk and remains active, then let him do that..! and we can keep on trying and you can give some vitamin supplements for his growth. good luck.

love to your kid
