hello Hetal and all other wonderful moms out here,

I had written earlier about my baby girl not taking milk and that I was trying to feed her waking up during nights. The dr. had recommended a upper GI test on her and we did that last week, during the follow up the dr. said she does have reflux pblm and that we should increase to give pepcid 1 ml. twice a day and that she had gained wt. so its ok. But she is only in the 10% range right now for her age and drinks less than 20 oz of milk as is. We try to give cereal with milk and she likes it. She seems to like solids. The dr. said to introduce oat meal so going ahead on that. I want to know on a couple of things.
1. The dr. said to introduce oatmeal and then yellow veg.s and later green veg.s and then fruits for her.
2. We have been givg homemade khichidi to her twin brother and he takes it fine. I would love to give it to her too since it has all veg.s , rice, dal and ghee. Can I do that now?
3. Also the yellow veg.s the dr. is saying - what are they? If I want to make them at home what can I do?

She gained 11 ozs in 11 days and that was better than the week bef. , this could be bcos she was fed during the nights. The dr. said its ok to do that until we meet a gastroenterologist and figure out if any other changes. So I think the feed at nights is helping her. What else can I do to make sure she is gaining wt. ok. She was born 6 wks early at 4 lb 3 ozs. and I want to take good care of her to make sure she is healthy. So pls. understand and advise.
