Hello, I have read your question and understand your concerns.
you should try to understand the fact that only milk doesn't suffices the needs of growing children. Its wise to introduce semisolids at age of 6 months so that they get used to them by growing age.
Let your child come out of her current illness. Your child's weight is also less compared to her age. Introduce semisolids. Only 2 bottles of milk should be given to her in 24 hours. And its better to replace milk with Pediasure. 1 ml of pediasure has 1Kcal while milk has 0.66Kcal. Its the semisolids and than solid foods which will improve your child health.
Do contact if you have any query in future.
Regards
