Hi,
My baby is gaining weight well. He is now 3 months. I was told that till 6 months it is advisable to give only mother's milk for the baby but my doctor has asked me to start Celerac - Wheat for him now once a day along with breast milk and start NAN1 from next month. Is it ok? Or shd i wait for some more time and start solids later? Pls advice asap. Also if the baby gains 1 kg a month will it be overweight? Pls advice. Thanks Pebbles replied. Hi, I had to join back last week as my girl has turnd 3 months old but she still is refusing mother diary milk with feeder bottle. This was as per her paed. s suggestion. She is underweight and would not accept anything but my milk. She is also very moody and does not take the feed properly. Refuses even my lap and throws a big tantrum even when hungry. Has to be fed lying down on bed. Any help? rani replied. hey,
what is NAN1 is it no of nan-1 or someother type of food/
please advise? disha replied. Hi ,

I would suggest to wait till 4 to 4.5 months and then start with cerelac -rice,wheat,oatmeal,barley . Make sure you start with single grain cereals first then slowly by 6th month start with mixed cereals . I gave my son solids with breast milk from 4 months. Start with cerelac as i said , ragi,dal ka pani,veg clear soups etc.
Start with khichdi etc after 6 months. console replied. If your baby is gaining enough weight and in normal health..then there is no need to introduce food befor 5 months of age.breast milk is always the best.studies show that kids who are introduced food at very early stage ie,before 4.5 months of age are prone to allergies,iron deficiency etc.so please wait fo some time before starting.

though peds these days say 6 months, it is fine if you start your baby on solids at 4 months.

I started my baby with Moong dal ka pani, then have moved to moong dal-chaval paste, ragi porridge and cerelac-rice.
wheat should be introduced at a later stage when baby is abt 6-7 mths old.
Introduce only one food every 15 days initially, till you are sure baby is able to digest it well.

Nan1 you can start anytime now. It is ok to feed nan1 to even newborn babies on recomendation by paed.

hope this helps
