Sharmila replied. really shame on u all. This is a site to help one another and not abuse each other, just to show that you are an expert on child rearing. And one thing i agree with param is that , mel' s language is very very abusive. My dear mel, u talk on basis of how u have brought up your son. Dear u have had only one kid so far..... and pls understand that each kid is different from another. The dr that param consults has since several kids. There is something called partical experience.... which u don' t get by googling on the net. It takes yrs
I have known several kids who have only been bf till that age of one and are doing perfectly fine. Dear, all this formula and infant food have come out only in the recent 30 or so odd yrs. Many moms before that have been raising their kids on solely bf.
And you are NO ONE to insult and question the intelligence of somelse' s kid. SHame on you. Is this the example that you set for your kid? \" Its my way or the highway?\"
I have seen several of ur posts and u do talk as if u r an expert of all these topics and know perfectly well how to raise children. Dear, the way u have raised ur son, is the best in ur eyes, It is the same for all moms. And no mother will purposely harm her child. So be open to the ideas of others, be patience, and not defensive and ready to pounce on anyone who comes ur way.
Take this as an advice of a mother of 4 , and a grandmother of 8 kids.
Param dear, each new parent will be anxious about their child. Maybe khushboo plans to return to work and has to slowly switch over formula feed.
Keep such possibilities in you mind when you respond to someone' s queries. Try to be encouraging and not quick to point out faults. Most moms are worried and desperate whn they post their queries and look for a practical solution and word of encouragement to lift their spirits.

Khushboo dear, so what if ur child doesnot take formula . She is taking milk thru her cereals. Add in milk as paneer, curd, cheese etc. Out of my 8 grandchildren only 2 were bottle feed. The rest were bf till the age of 2 - 2 1/2 . And started drinking cow' s milk only after that. But my daugther-in-laws used to incorporate milk in different forms in their diet. Dont starve or force anything on ur child. It will only create more aversion towards food.
All my 8 grandchildren are different, some eat well, others ok and 2 are extremly fussy eaters. But all are very intelligent, loving and by God' s grace blessed with numerous talents.
My dears, intelligence does not only depend on the type of food u eat or the MILK u drink. It depends on the loving and wholesome environment we as parents give our kids. The principle and values that we instill in them.
I am very shocked to see educated and young mothers speak and abuse like this. Pls do apologise to one another and act more civilized.
I wouldnt be surprise to see negative comments to this post. But is this the way u would respond to ur mother/aunt or an elder sister? khushboo replied. thanx for ur advice...by the way m not such a mother...it' s my mil who behaves n forces me for al this...m satisfied for feeding her n i wud love to feed her till she wants... param replied. Hi Khushboo,
I am really surprised by your behaviour. Aren' t u aware that for children mothers milk is the best. If ur child is having that, why do u want her to have outside milk if she is not ready. I think u shuld just stop forcing her with outside milk, once she is old enough, she will take it.right now the best gift that u r giving her is ur milk and if u r so obssessed with her to have milk give her curd which is very healthy and paneer which is again a byproduct of milk and stop forcing such a small child to have outside milk if she is not ready. Atleast ur kid is having meals like suji,khichdi and kheer, my son who is 4 now only had my milk till 1.3yrs he did not eat any other meal or outside milk and he has grown to be a healthy boy. Pls don' t follow ur MIL advice ur child is having everything that a child of that age is supposed to have,so don' t let ur ignorance spoil her appetite.
