Eats Small Amount Of Food, Craves For Milk. What All Foods Recommended?

hi dear dr
My 1 year old eats very small amount of food. she just craves for my milk. It is very difficult for me to breast feed at night as she asks for it several times till morning. I have sleep deficiency and weight loss! She just eats meatballs, chicken, rice, pasta banana, apple, grapes and biscuits. for breakfast, she eats rice creme with date creme but as I said very little. What else can I give her? She was born 2600grams and now is 8000 g
thanks alot

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
After 1 year kid will have less appetite because of decreased growth rate in comparison to that of previous months.
Try to give home made food and you can add little bit of ghee or edible oil to her regular diet.
Coming to your difficulty in breast feeding, you can decrease the night time feeds gradually in a slow manner.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.

hello dear,
thanks for your query at HCM
as per weight of the child she is less weight than expected,
1year you can wean your child from breast feeding .
your giving her proper food. give small quantity every two to three hourly that will decrease carving
also add egg, milk in her diett give them in more quantity because they are energy and protein rich.
i hope this will help her weight gain
