A. hello there ma'am please do not worry about it too much and also mostly babies resist to take semi solid food and slowly adopt it. and please give baby ajwain ark and saunf water on daily basis for better appetite. take care

Mom of a 6 m old girl

Q. #AskTheExperts Hi, my Daughter is 6 months old now, her birth weight was 3.5kg and now her current weight is 6.1kg. She was completely BF till 3 month and then 3 to 6 months is BF+Formula and now completely on formula. She is very active and wants to play and gets distracted. She drinks for 3 minutes and starts to push the bottle out. In a day her total milk intake is hardly around 350 mls. She has achieved her milestones until now and is a happy baby. Her urine output is very little, though she passes them 7 to 8 times a day, they are very smelly and concentrated. But motion output is normal and passes once or twice a day. I have not given her any other food. Should I be concerned about her weight gain? Is it normal? Is there any specific home food that can help her gain weight? I tried to feed her some Ragi sprouted health mix. But she shows great resistance towards solid food, what can I do? Thanks much.

Q. My 9 month boy has been acting cranky past few days, he screams, shrieks & cry as loud as he can be ( I mean like literally pierce through my ears) ..Constantly will be shaking his head at few intervals. No matter what I do to distract & stop him from crying, he does not respond. This goes on for half to 1 hour, thereafter he's back to normal laughing & clapping.. My concern is not knowing if this is normal & how do I control it. Please advice.
