Hetal and all other moms here,
My baby is 6 mo. and 2 weeks and is on solids 3 times a day. 5 spoons of cereal in morning, 2.5 oz of gerber veg in afternoon and 6-7 spoons of kichidi at night. In between milk is fed but if I count altogether it is only 16-20 ozs thats getting in form of milk - including bm and formula. I was reading somewhere that baby needs min. 24-32 oz at this stage. But dr. said increase solid feed to 3 times when we were doing only twice before and the dr. said 16 oz. is ok in form of milk. Am concerned on what is a reasonable intake of milk and what I can do to set it right here. Should I cut down 1 time solid food, if yes what can I cut down? bcos am giving vegs. in kichidi can I skip gerber? but I want baby to get used to all kinds of food as suggested here. pls let me know if any alterations are needed in my food plan.
