Reema replied. My son Ekal is 10 months old in his 9 month appt he was only 14#s and 6 oncs so don't think you have tiny baby. Ekal eats only 3 times a day. and breastmilk inbetween. I prepare khichdi in cooker for him. put some carrots and peas. It might help. Rupal replied. On a small mat, put some snacks. Keep that near her play station or toys. I put cherrios, ritz crackers for kids etc. If she doesn't eat first day don't give up. She may start with only one or two for the first time and then slowly she will eat more. Let her eat on her own some food. Kids love that. Once she start eating that snacks, you can also put idli bites, dosa cut in small pieces, upma(make small balls of upma) etc. You can also put diced fruits there. once she will taste all those food then you feed her other. Of course if she will eat herself; she will make mess, which you may have to clean; but I guess everything is fine if she eat something.
About milk: our pediatrician suggested us to mix half formula and half regular milk and then gradually increase regular milk quantity.
I hope this helps. mommy replied. Hi,
