HI hetal...im a member of pregnancy board Oct 2005 .but came across this one for the first time today.

Have read lots of inputs from you.U r really doing a gr8 job..If u dnt mind m wondering abt your source of knowledge.

Well my daughter will be a year old in next 15 days.Can you pls help me in deciding the menu.
since she was 9 months old she started teething and had loose motions and cold n cough and she lost weight since then m trying hard her to put on atleast look healthier but its not working.

Brkfast:-after half an hour whenever she wakes up
cereal(fruity n veggie, mix including pasta in that)i have not come across iron fortified written on them.m in UK i get heinz and Hipp brands of cereals---This is once in a week as i prefer home made as n when possible
sooji kheer, sooji halwa, paneer mixed in cereals, she does not lke egg yolk i tries sometimes mixed in cereals, plain banana, dalia

brunch(after 2 hrs around)
mostly milk she hardly takes 2 3 oz.and goes to sleep.

Lunch:whenever she wakes up generally after 2 to 3 hrs
khichdi, dal dipped in roti, veggetables boiled n mashed, sugar rice n ghee, roti n ghee(choori), vegetable salty dalia(i.e. mix dal n vegetables in dalia),dal n rice, roti in milk

evening snacks:-
BM plus some sooji kheer or nestle fruit puree(readymade) or banana or halwa or besan chila(she doesn't like this much)yesterday i tried wholemeal bread toast(is that ok to give wholemeal bread as i want to avoid maida so i rarely use bread even for myself)

Dineer:
anything out of lunch menu which she didn't had in lunch on that particular day. i prefer wheat in dinner n rice in lunch

i add yoghurt if i have to in lunch time as earlier she never liked homemade curd last week i introduced nestle fruity flavor yoghurt so she likes it but she is suffering from cold n cough so tries not to give her curd and banana too.

she does nt like juices if i give with bottle she throws it away or i give her direct with glass she does furrrrrrrrrrrrr of all liquid and then laughs a lot.

fruits i donno why she doesnt take boiled apple actually she avoids sour taste so dnt take orange juice or boiled apple i add sugar too but she does nt take it. sometimes i give her grapes and have not tried anyother fruits yet.

Bedtime:
BM and for the whole night se wakes up 5 6 times and neends me to feed soi do as i dnt have any option to make her sleep again. she starts crying badly.

in day time too. i (BM)feed her atleast once or may be twice.
