Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year agoA. you can go for formula milk consumption for your child after medical consultation with your dr.
you can go for any brand which is easily digestible by the child but if the child is not able to digest and has colic pain vomiting and loose motion or constipation due to a particular formula milk it is advisable to change the brand.
also if one brand is going on it is advisable to continue the same brand and do not switch to different brands again and again because many times it can lead to digestion problem.
so if a particular brand is well digested kindly continue that particular brand of formula milk
you have to follow demand feeding that is if the child demands more milk you can gradually increase the quantity .
outside food / weaning / complementary is started after 6 months of ahe of the child.
at the end of 6 months you have to start gradually all types of food to which the child is not allergic and does not have digestion problem as well as the child is able to swallow the food.
cereals pulses vegetable
gradually from few spoons per day(cereals pulses vegetable) you have to shift to half katori (100ml) three times per day till 9 months of age.
fruits
from six months to nine months you have to give few 2 pieces of fruit and then shift to half a katori 2 times per day.
if breastfeeding is going on you can continue xat regular interval. and if you are giving outside milk then it should be around 700 to 800 ml per day.
homemade food is better compared to outside packet foods and processedx foods
