Hi Frnds!!
My doughter is 6.5 months.She is on Similac Neosure formula as she is underweight just 5.3KG.
She refuse Solids i mean rice cereal and many kinda a food i make specialy for her.I tried Gerber and Heins also but failed.
i wanna know how much solid shd i feed her per day?? hou much milk and how much water?? She drinka formula near about 350ml per 24hrs.its very less.i want to improve her feed.plz help me. Rupal replied. Hi there,
Have you tried different flavors of rice cereal? When my son was around that age he liked mixed grain cereal than rice. Your daughter should be drinking at least 24oz (approx 720ml) of formula per 24 hours. Some parents think that as we have started solids, we should reduce milk; but that is not right. You can check that online on many websites related to babies; as I was unable to post url.

As you have mentioned you have tried different kind of food; I am not sure if you have tried home made ones like khichdi and mashed potatoes. If you want recipe for those; see my reply to Ranjita Pai for her 20th Feb 2005 issue. The title for her email is “time interval between feeds.”

At this age you should not worry about solids and water much; but she should take good amount of milk. 24 oz is minimum but can take upto 32oz or more.

Hope this helps.
