1 Answer

ExpertDr. Minal AcharyaNutritionist3 years ago

A. Dear parent, young babies have small stomach capacity, so give small, frequent meals. do not force feed. consistency of food like that of the ghee is appropriate to provide correct nutrition, baby will get used to it introduce new food in day time when baby is likely to be more hungry. keep food ready and try at a time when baby maybe hungriest for example after he waking up do Not breastfeed before trying top food , keep some gap try one new food for 3 to 4 days for baby to accept before moving on to another food. Sometimes it may even take longer you may have to try one food for as many as 15 times for baby to get the flavour.
