Mom of a 5 yr 6 m old girl4 years ago
Q.

my baby is 8 months old now. I give her 4 solid meals a day which is 2 of pushti(mixture of rice,soya,green gram, ragi etc) and 2 of ragi alone. she used to eat one small bowl full initially. gradually she started leaving little and then skipping one meal and now she didn't eat anything. I tried giving other food but even that she didn't like. if I give her biscuits or rusk then she will eat nicely. what may be reason. what can I give her to eat. she drinks breast milk. she is active. but looks thin now compared to earlier.

A. Hello dear Ideally you should give 3 meals and 2 snacks in between. So even if the baby is skipping one meal it’s alright. Don’t force feed the baby. Follow the hunger cues

A. Hello dear parent! Keep changing the menu so that your baby will taste different foods and flavours. Give only homemade healthy foods. Avoid biscuits and other outside foods as they are high in sugars and calories but very low in nutrition. Speak to your doctor for further advice.
