You'r baby is healthy since her wait is accordingly to normal babies..Regarding her teeth you can see her teeth emerging out even after 11-12 months...Regarding her complexion its too early to be judge..Massage her with almond oil for 15-20 min then give her hot water bath regularly..Usually kids are very fussy at this stage so dont worry god has invented a term called \" HUNGER\" no human can control give good gap in between meals...Raagi is flour u will get tht in grocery dilute 1 sppon of raagi in normail water then add it to boiling milk and stir till its consistency is thick enough..just like complan or horlicks..or u can also add raagi in roti that is soaked in milk for an hour or so add this raagi bring to boil add ghee and lil sugar ur baby should love it.. geetha replied. Hi Pari,
My son is 3 months old but I have enough exp as I have helped my cousins to rise their 4 kids and my mom has much more exp of her own 3 kids and 10 of her sis kids. so here what we say ..
about babies getting teeth, being thin and walking.. u just dont listen to ur relatives.. it very much varies from baby to baby. Right now all that matters is baby's health and activeness.
I walked at 10 months where as my brother took 1 and half year. I started talking very well by 1 year where as my another brother took 2 years just to say mummy. Till then he used to talk with signs.. now his job is nothing but talk ..
so just concentrate on giving a healthy diet,good play time to ur baby and rest u leave it to time. Let her do things with her own pace.. she cant do things for our urgency..
I saw ur other postings too.. if u dont have dr access there, why not have a ped in India and call them and explain the prob.. that will give u a lot of relief. Make a list of things u want to ask before calling them, be calm and relaxed while talking and take notes . My friend used to do the same . I am sure any of ur relatives here will help u to find a good ped.
Here is what all south indian families give to their babies to get good weight and health. Infact they start it from 3-4 month itself. I have started giving it as I have to get back to work by next month.
This is called ragi sari. (U say u dont know what is Ragi , it looks somewhat like mustard. small round reddish grain u might get it in indian stored over there or talk to any of ur south indian friends they can tell u..)Take ragi flour and flour of all mixed danas in 1:1 ratio. Filter this with thin cotton cloth to get a fine powder. Prepare this and stock it. Take a clean water , add this flour and some salt or sugar for taste. Keep on stove and stir it till the water boils. U will get a even fine pudding( add some ghee to this while stirring if ur baby has constipation problem , it will help). Dont make it as think as smashed rice nor as free flowing like milk. Make sure u have put enough water before itself becoz if u want to add water in the middle, u may end up making uneven flour knots which wont mix well.
After feeding the baby with this, give her enough previously boiled water. Give it for 1 month u will see the results.
take care
Geetha
