Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much. Pleae give less quantities of water to the baby at one time. Also try to use a sipper to feed water to the baby. Please give eggs and chicken to the baby. Also give chicken soup to the baby. Please give banana shake and ragi porrige to the baby. Please give lots of green vegetables and dairy products and soaked almonds to the baby on daily basis. Please limit soda and juices and high fat foods like chips or biscuits or cakes etc.
Thanks and take care
