Dear Sir / Madam,

Birth weight of my daughter was 3.550 Kg but now she is having regular problem of loose motion. I am taking care of cleanness but this problem is still there. My daughter is becoming very thin and now after 6.5 months old her weigth is only 7 Kg. I have consulted Dr. but of no use.

Please guide me. I am very much tense due to this.

Bhavana Jiya replied. Increase her oz's of milk..Give her some formula milk in between feeding.Babies at this age are just introduced to solids ..so if they eat less solid foods its okay..but they should get their milk (breast milk or formula) for their growth.

Your baby should be drinking 24-32 oz of milk per day. Ganga replied. Hi Bhavana,

What are you giving your daughter? Are you giving here cerelac or farex most of the times? If yes Please stop it as they dont have any calories in them to help your baby put on more weight. They just give them calories for them to burn off before the next session of cerelac goes in.
Now that your daughter is more than 6mo you can very well start on home made food. Daily give her boiled vegetables mainly potato and carrot and tomato. You can add beans and peas to it too. Boil all of these nicely and mash them properly. My son is 7.5 months old and he is taking all these. But what ever you start, do that gradually...I add white rice, along with dhal and ghee and also mash it together with these veggies and add some rasam to it. Also start giving her curd rice. Give bananas, apples(boiled and mashed ones) biscuits.

All these i started trying out but also asked his doc before giving them

Keep trying and gradually she will be a darling.

All the best
Ganga
