What Quantitiy Of Solid Food Is Needed For An Infant?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...Hi doctor,my daughter is 8 months old.she does not take any kind of solid food even fruits and vegetables and she refuses to take formula milk also.she breast feeding but only my milk is not sufficient to her.how much quantity of food is sufficient for her at this age.i can not understand what to do.plz suggest me a solution.
Hi...An active is a well kid even if she/ he is not eating well. Development of a kid is as important as or I would say even more important than growth alone. As the kids grow their interest in food decreases and interest in play activities increases. As parents we need to be more patient and feed than less quantity but more aliquots per day. I suggest you concentrate more on the number of times you feed her and also make whatever you feed her calorie dense by adding good amount of ghee to it. I suggest you not to use appetite stimulants on long run as they may cause drowsiness. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
