i would like to add one thing about a child's diet-- in case of non-vegetarians...egg yolk can be started by 6-7 mths, but egg white should not be given till the measles vaccine has been given ie..at about 9 mths.egg white has protein which if given earlier, may cause an allergic reaction to the measles vaccine.

child does not need "external" milk after 8 months - specially cows milk. it should be introduced after a year. if you have to give the child "non-breast milk" then make sure its a good quality formula. ideally breastmilk either from mom or pumped by mom is ideal.

you people are unnecessarily arguing with what that dr.youssini said... if u go read anywhere and even the american as well as indian or for that matter any country's pediatric association would tell you to exclusively breast feed the baby upto 6 months just to avoid possible allergies and obesity later in life. just do your research before you accuse someone ok ladies...

Name: arch

dear arch, i can't help but feel for your baby and your family. my son was breast fed the first 2 months. due to stress of moving to a new location, my wife stop producing milk. as a father, i was face with two choices. the choices that we have were either buy formula milk or produce our own products. being a person who is expose to western and eastern cultures. i was exposed to the benefits and the disadvantages of both conventional and alternative medicines. living in a polluted city in asia, i was born with a severe case of asthma. my father was a convention doctor and refused to believe in alternative medicine so he injected me with the strongest medicine from europe in hope of saving my life. countless number of times my parents thoughts that was my last breath. three years went by and i was hanging on to life. of course the medicines only treat the symptoms but not treating the problem. although not believing in alternative medicine, my father took me to an herbal doctor because my uncle suggested him to do that. six months with herbal treatment, i was cured from asthma. then, as an adult i was under a tremendous stress from my job. i did not eat right and did not get enough rest. a few years later, i have a severe case of what it seem to be eczema. i was in and out of the emergency room. doctors prescribe drugs. i know that those medicines will damage my liver and ultimate will kill me. the conditions come and go. after three years of being in and out of the emergency room without a cure, i got fed up with medicines that only provide temporarily relief. i decided to do my own study on health and nutrition. from that knowledge, i was able to prevent and provide a cure to my body when conventional doctors could not help me. let's get back to my son. because of those experience and knowledge, i decided to produce my own products for my son. since my son was 2 months old, i made my own products for my son. now my son is 11 months, strong and healthy. he has beautiful skin and he has no allergy. try to introduce fresh young coconut juice for your son. i am talking about the real young coconut juice in the coconut, not the one in the cans and not the preservative. you have to actually use a knife to crack this fresh young coconut juice and that is exactly what i am talking about. tested it out first to make sure your son does not have allergy. if he does not have allergy, mix this fresh young coconut juice with breast milk. use one fresh coconut juice per day. also, put your son through food elimination process. for every disease there is a connection between food and bowel movement. use only natural food for your son. i am talking about food that are grown naturally without chemical such as fungicide or pesticide. do not feed any cans or preservative food to your son. do some study on natural living; especially, on food, bowel movement, and how food effect skin condition. have you ever heard of doctor bernard jensen? check it out.

my daughter has eczema and the only this that worked for her is eucerin or aquafer, so i'm very surprised that it didn't work for our child. my daughter in only 11 months old and she is still not on solid foods, she was breast feed till 4 mo ( i stopped only because she got teeth ) but i heard that if you start foods to early that they will get allergies!

Name: arch
Country: usa
i started solid when my son was 5 months old,before he was exclusivly on breast milk.at the age of 8 months he was diagnosed with severe food allergies specially to peanuts,soy and eggs.he has eczema also. he itches his body throughout the night and we are not able to have a good night sleep. please somebody help me...i tried eucerin,aveeno baby lotion and some other things, but nothing seem to work for him.

i agree with dr.gulam younossi, md that solids should be started only after 6months of exclusive breastfeeding.breastmilk is the mother's gift to her child..cow's milk should be given only after 1 year.many babies do well with cow's milk or any type of food given to them earier than the requried time frame ..but that is not the thing..many smokers or drunkers may say that they have no health problems..will this justify that smoking and drinking is good for health? no.. most healthy babies will eat whatever u offer, not even showing a single sign of illness..but u don't know what is happening inside the system..giving heavy loads to a tiny digestive system is not recommended..if u do this in the earlier months of his life,u will see the repercussions later on ,when he is old,not now.. so we should always follw the advices of a good doctor or research findings that are available in the internet.we should not go by what our mom or grand mom or our best friend said.our mom's or grand mom's days are over..now a days every thing is related to science.even feeding a baby is itself a science..moreover making a baby fat and plump should not be the only motive behind starting solids earlier..his whole life is lying in front of him to eat and only eat..then why be in such a hurry? i cannot understand how indiaparenting can suggest giving citrus fruits to babies below 1 year..vitamin c is found in sweet potato ,pappaya and many other baby friendly fruits..citrus fruits including tomato ,are allergenic to babies as reffered in all articles found in the internet..
