MY BABY IS 5 MONTHS 22DAYS OLD ..... I NEED A COMPLETE FOOD CHAT WHICH I CAN START AS SOON AS HE IS 6 MONTHS. HE IS STILL UNDER BREASTFEED. I FEEL THAT AS HE IS GROWING BREAST FEEDING IS NOT ENOUGH NOW FOR HIM ALTHOUGH I HAVE ENOUGH BREASTMILK....VERY MUCH FREQUENTLY HE GETS HUNGRY AND NOT ABLE TO SLEEP FOR LONGER TIME. HE IS VERY MUCH ACTIVE N BREAST MILK DOES STAY FOR LONG IN HIS STOMACH. THE MOMENT HE PEES 2 3 TIMES AND PLAYS AROUND AFTER FEEDING HIS STOMACH IS EMPTY AGAIN....WHAT SHOULD I GIVE HIM WHICH CAN STAY LONG AND MANAGE HIS HUNGER.????

Question

Accepted Answer

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 mondths 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 at regular interval. and iff 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 processed foods
