Dear faree

It is not unusal. Wheening can be started at 6 months of age this should include cereals, crushed bananas or crushed potatos and such foods. but milk is very important for his diet. try putting some cereal in his milk and thicken it. You also need to tell me if your son has a cold? or if you live in a country where the weather is cold these days? if you want to make cereal at home please make sure you use proper hygiene and the food is not contaminated in any way.

i hope i have answered your question to your satisfation. if you have any more questions do contact me.


Thank you and take care
