Hi My baby is 8 months old and she weighs 6.8kg Tell me what to make her eat so that she gains some weight. She doesn’t eat potato, apple I gave her banana twice and then she had really bad constipation after consuming banana.

A. Hi, usually baby will get double the birth weight by six months and triple the birth weight by one year so you can calculate accordingly to Baby’s birthweight. Make a timetable so that you can cover different type of fruits and veggies so that baby likes to taste different fruits and veggies and which is good for a good growth. You can give five feeds in a day 8 AM-ragi porridge 11 AM-any fruit purée 2 PM-rice and dal porridge 5 PM-any vegetable purée 8 AM-Upma, kheer. Always feed in sitting position. avoid salt, sugar, honey, citric fruits, dry fruits, cow milk until baby completes one year.
