Hi,
I have a 11 months old son. He was exclusively breastfeeded for initial 5.5 months and i had started other foods after that.

I have the follwing queries. Any pointers on this would be helpful.

1. he is not at all used to the bottle. he doesn't drink anything from the bottle. but he does take all solid foods (rice, dhal, idly, veggies, apple, banana, etc). It is very hard to feed him fluids. I still breastfeed and give him normal milk (125 ml per day) and satthu maavu mix (125 ml per day) when he is half sleep. He takes fluids from bottle only when he is half sleep. I do breastfeed him 3-4 times a day (incldes night feed). other than this he doesn't take any fluids (not even plain water). Any pointers how to make him drink water? Is this amount of fluid intake is sufficient as i'm worried since he doesn't take water? he doesn't have any stomach problems till now (constipation, etc). Is it safe to give him milk when he is half sleep? how much fluid should be given to a 11 month old baby?


2. I give him dhal every alternate days (moong dal / thoor dal). Can I give him dhal daily?

3. Now he has veggies like carrot, beans, potateo & cauliflower. What other veggies i can introduce?

4. Can I introduce yogurt?

5. I heard that raisin is very good for health. How to cook that?


Any pointers on this would be helpful.

Thanks in Advance.
