A. you can continue breastfeeding the child but it is important to give food to the child first and then only offer breastfeeding. DIET : - it is very important to give all types of food made from cereals (RICE WHEAT and other) pulses (DAL) vegetable milk and fruits to the child and this will only help in increasing the growth weight height immunity of the child. YOU CAN GO FOR ANY RECIPES AND FLAVOURS AND TASTE ACCORDING TO THE THE PREFERENCE OF THE CHILD. Start with small quantity and gradually increase the quantity. you can go for different colour plates as well as different size plates to make eating more attractive. Also it is very important to rule out nutritional deficiency in your child because that is one of the most common cause of loss of appetite in the child.

A. Hi dear mom Yes u can give one egg daily to ur baby. There is no problem in that. Also u can continue to breast feed ur baby till two years as long as u and ur baby are comfortable. Give natural appetiser like coconut water, jeera water, ajwain water etc to increase the appetite of ur baby. If baby is rejecting one food offer the other variety of food.
