Mom of a 2 yr old girl1 Year ago

Q.

My baby is 8 months old and her weight is just 6.3kg. I am really worried about her weight. Should I stop breastfeeding and start formula milk for weight gain?

A. You can start formula milk along with breast milk. Do not stop breastfeeding till 1 year of age. You should use Dexolac formula milk for better immunity of the child. It contains FOS which is a good fiber beneficial for their long term gut health. It has 36 vital nutrients good for their health and immunity. I have been using Dexolac formula stage 1(0-6m) since birth for my baby as I gave formula alongside breastfeeding.

A. Hello there maam please do not worry about it too much. Baby weight depends on birth weight and normally doubles by the age of six months and triples by the age of one year. If baby is active and taking feed properly then no need to panic. Mother should take healthy food items including fresh fruits and dry fruits. Please give semi solid food items like banana and mashed potatoes and mashed apples to the baby. Also give suji kheer and daal paani to the baby. Start giving formula milk to the baby. Thanks and take care
