Noticed A Drastic Reduction In Weight For A 5 Month Old
Hi doc, My baby will be 5 months coming week. My daughter weight was decreasing by 100 gm every week. Her doctor had suggested to introduce Farex wheat or Ragi to my baby. But as per my friends and family suggestion Rice flavour is best to start with. Whats your opinion on the same? Can I start introducing wheat or Ragi or Rice now? OR should I wait for another week to complete 5 months.

Exclusive breast milk for 6 complete months would be best for your child.this would lead to good weight gain in the baby. Regards
