Sandhya X2 replied. Milestones like standing, sitting are different for each baby. Your baby seems to be doing fine. Ask your ped if you have any doubts.

I think your main concern should be to feed yr baby enough milk.

Because she should be having at least 20-24 oz per day till she is 1 yr old.

Are you saying that she is not taking even 1 oz of milk? Are you trying BF or formula?

Try to give her milk when she is half asleep. You can even try putting a pacifier in her mouth and then after she gets used to the sucking motion, take it out quickly and immediately put the milk bottle in. You can even try putting her in a swing and when she is going to and fro, then try putting the bottle in her mouth.

Try giving her milk first thing in the morning. That' s when she must be really hungry coz she hasn' t had anything in the night.

gauri replied. did u gv her proper massage for 6 motnhs? it makes a difference... Suk replied. hi,have u tried giving milk shake or try little boost or MILO.my son had the same problem and i used to add half a spoon of MILO to his milk.else give carrot or apple milk shake.strain and give it so that she can have it from her bottle itself.

dont bother about her legs not being stiff as yet.kids take their time to stand or walk.my son stood when he was 8months or he has started walking only when he was 14months.dont compare with any other kid.u have to just be patient.once they start standing or walking they do it the whole day that u have to literally ask them to sit for a minute if u need some rest.if u still have some doubt ask ur doc about it. neelima replied. hi,
are you saying she is not having formula milk?
other good sources of calcium are curd, cheese and paneer.
