POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month3 months agoA. If your baby is surviving only on breast milk and refusing all other foods, it's important to consider the baby’s age first:
✅ If your baby is under 6 months:
This is completely normal. Breast milk is the only food needed up to 6 months. No concern.
⚠️ If your baby is over 6 months:
By this age, babies need solid foods along with breast milk to meet their growing nutritional needs. If your baby is refusing solids:
Start with soft, mashed foods like moong dal, khichdi, banana, or curd. Offer food when your baby is calm and not very hungry or sleepy. Keep offering the same food for a few days – repeated exposure helps acceptance. Let your baby explore food with hands – messy eating is okay! Avoid distractions like mobile phones or forcing.
If the baby is not gaining weight, not active, or refusing all foods for many weeks, consult a pediatrician for evaluation.
