Mom of a 3 yr 5 m old boy3 years ago
Q.

#asktheexperts My 5.5 month old lo has started refusing to take midnight feed. I give him formula around 8-9pm before he goes to bed and then around 1-2 am I dream feed him EBM. He usually wakes up around 6-7 am sometimes earlier than that for morning feed. Is it okay to let him sleep till he wakes up wanting the feed cause that would be a long gap of 7-8 hours if he sleeps through the whole night ?

A. Weaning food can be started from 5-6 months of age and in that initially in the initial stage you can introduce some semi solid food to the baby like Banana mango plum boiled Apple and then gradually you can start with some purie of h carrot potato and some other foods which can be given are porridge of suji sabudana which can be prepared in breast milk or formula milk. initially you can start with one or two tsp which cgan be gradually increased up till at least three meals in a day

A. Why do you need to dream feed the child my child and sleeping peacefully it is not needed just video chat only when your child wakes up and demands for the feed Dhoond unnecessarily go ahead with feeding the child in the night when your child is sleeping that’s not considered right actually
