hi everyone,
hope all our kids are keeping us busy..but some how i make sure i read the posts atleast once in 2 days ;-)..Its nice to know about all the kids updates..
here is mine ..
shashanth(chintoo) is doing fine.and is now 5 1/2 months old.he loves to be in his tummy most of the times and swims backwards..he grabs everything near by and put in his mouth..so like i can never leave him to play himself..he has become very naughty ..he never statys in a position for more than 2 secs..he sits without support for a minute and then will slide to grab something nearby ..
i have started giving him ragi kannchi.i first prepared it myself but it didnt come out well..
so i am getting ragi malt powder from shop which has ragi+wheat+almonds+cashew mixed.i take 1 spoon of it and preapre kannchi mixing with only water and sugar. with much difficulty i am making him to eat ...i give him some 2-3 spoons of water with it.he loves to have water alone..
i am still feeding him(BF).and i ahve planed to give him only home made food.
i have to go to office from may 1st. i am very worried about his eating habits..
he likes to have only feeding.i tried to give him kichadi once but hedidnt have it ..
i dont know what i can do now ..i have to practice a eating plan for him b4 i go to office.
can u plz help me out with a eating plan..
like what i can give and at what intervals and how much.. also can u sugest me some home made foods i can give him other than this kanchii..

i stay in bangalore and its very hot now like chennai..so does he need water more ..

love to all the kids ..
regards,
aparnaa

aparnaa SK replied. Hi,

This is my yash's schedule.

Early morning when he gets up(which is around 7-7.30) BF him....not sure how much he gets milk at this feeding but usually he is really hungry in the morning when he gets up.

Around 10 am - breakfast - cereal with fruit(started with banana and now will try mixed fruit) - 5-6 spoons, BF if he asks for it which is for few mins.

BF around 12-1 pm ...depending on his demand.

Lunch - 3 pm - Veg - 1 jar,BF for few min if he demands
Started with veggies since a week...gave carrot for few days ..yest today gave sweet potato

around 5 pm - BF

around 7.30 - 8 Dinner - Rice cereal -3-4 spoons
(try to keep it simple)

If i am introducing any new veg...i give cereal(different one at each feeding) and 1-2 spoons of the veg being introduced along with it ..this is breakfast,lunch and dinner

I add almond powder(1/2 a spoon) to all my cereal feedings.Also give him water after each feeding.

thats pretty much it...hope it is helpful.

Thanks,
