A. Hi during the teething phase kids suffer from loss of appetite and they tend to reject intake of solid food items and they prefer for liquid diet.. give whatever food your baby is liking to avoid any nutritional deficiencies

A. If I think that your milk is not sufficient at this age then you can give buffalo’s milk to the child you can give coconut water buttermilk curd there are so many healthy dreams that you can offer to the child apart from breastfeeding
