Lovleena MishraMom of 2 children4 years ago

A. If the baby is being breastfed and is having atleast 3 solid meals per day, then there is no need for formula feeding. He should have cereals between 1/4 cup and 1/2 cup, fruits between 1/4 and 1/2 cup, vegetables between 1/4 and 1/2 cup, dairy products 2 to 3 tbsps, protein or meat 4 tbsps. Give whole wheat idli or dosa, moong Dal khichdi, upma with vegetables, dalia, home made milkshakes with fresh fruits, boiled or scrambled eggs, vegetable soup, home made halwa, mildly spiced or non spiced sambar etc.
