My baby is 7 months and 13 days old. he doesn't take food properly. i try to give him dal and rice flour, only rice flour with tal mishri, sago, dal soup, light khichdi, fruit puree and vita marie biscuit. he only eats once or twice a day, that's too one or two spoons and after that doesn't open his mouth. so I'm worried. how should i feed him? but he takes breastmilk 7-8 times a day. please help.

Hello ma’am Your child is taking good amount of breastfeed so need not worry about it but of course food is really important if you are not adding spices and salt to the food start adding it to the food because a child is used to having breastfeed which is extremely sweet and till the time there is no flavour in the food a child is reluctant to eat it so just try to work upon salt and other spices as well
