hi!
I m the mother of 10 mnths baby. he is a boy and at the time of birth he weighed only 1.8 kg. he was premature by one month. By fifth month he was gaining weight but from last three mnths his weight has become stable. i give him food at interval of 3 to 4 hrs. which now i have reduced to 2-3 hrs. I give him mango shake,banana shake,curd, Cerlac,custard,biscuits,suji kheer,corn flakes,dalia,brown bread soaked in milk,juices. ... etc all grinded well but inspite of all this he is not gaining weight. he dosen't take dal and vegetables. He don't even crawl. he is Quite active child but I feel guilty when i see other babies of his age crawling,walking and in good physique, as if i m not taking good care of him.
Plz help me... how i can improve my childs weight.
Diksha replied. Thank you Indu for the suggestion.The present weight of the baby is 7.2 Kgs.
I will try ur method of introducing veggies and dal in his diet. I have shown him to his padetrician. He says ...the delay in his gross milestones need not to be worried.

Regards,
Diksha Indu replied. Hi Diksha,
I guess you dint mention the present weight of your baby. I think the reason why he is not having dal and veggies is that he might have got used to the sweet tastes of all the other things you have mentioned. My son is almost 9 months old, he also was not having rice + dhal + veggies. A few days back i made rice,dhal,moongdal,carrot,little tumeric powder , little mint leaves and finally added ghee to it. Gave him when he was very hungry, first day gave only 2 teaspoons and each day increased the quantity, now he is having that combination with good interest, y'day i added spinash to it.You may add a different veg each day.Try it out.
Also dont worry about baby not crawling, some babies attains each milestone very late. Do talk to your Dr and confirm about his general health.Good Luck.
