hi this is rajani.i stay in monterey,california.i am a first time mom.my mother left when my baby is small.by this time i am adjusted.she is 9 months old now.i am little worried that i am not feeding the baby properly.i see babies of her age crawling and standing.she doesn't do that.i was trying from long to feed her solids.but she never was interested.now a days she is taking little solids.is it because of that she doesn't have energy to crawl and stand?can anyoe give me suggestions. Mom replied. For babies who do not take solids easily, give it first in the morning before her milk. She may be very hungry and will take her solids. Some babies do not like Gerber Cereals mixed with milk so just mix it with water or juice or with any fruits in the morning. Give her homemade vegies(mashed). Does she like steamed potato..most of the babies like it..Add some ghee to her vegies.

If she is really under weight, please consult her doc ASAP. They may give some valuable advice.

Every babies are different. Some babiestake long time to walk and crawl. So don't compare them. Make sure she has proper intake of foods daily.

Give some teething biscuits..she may like it.if she is teething. nandini replied. is her weight gain normal,check with ur doctor.my baby is 10 months old and she started walking.but it differs from baby to baby.dont worry.try to postpone her feeding and when she is hungry give solid foods.try the foods which she likes.u can try giving bananas as most babies like it.if ur non veg give boiled egg yolk she might like it too.we stay in sanjose california.
