Hi, my daughter is 6 months and she weighs on 13 ponds 8 ounces. she is gaining very less weight. I have started solids for her and give her rice cerela, mashed khichdi and carrots. She will take little of these and also her milk intake has reduced to 18-20 ounce. How can I increase her diet and weight respectively. Sometimes she would not want to eat/drink for long hours. Please help me as I am very worried about her not gaining weight. Thanks in advance Yogini replied. Hi Priya ,
I had similar problem with my son about 15 days back.He had gained only 600 gms in a span of 3 months.I tried the following:
I started monitoring all his feeds (previously my maid was doing this as i am a working mom).Find out what your daughter likes and feed her accordingly..(e.g. my son prefers banana milk shake if it is cold but he likes his rice to be lil hot and such other things ) Try to use milk which has higher fat content.Use ghee..Also observe her motions .With all these efforts my baby gained 400 gms in 15 days .Most imp..do not force feed as it will frustrate both the mother and the baby.Consult your doctor and find out if the diet is sufficient for the baby.
