A. yes. you have to give cereal too. you can feed egg, paneer soya, halwa, banana. a great variety if home made stuff guarantee weight gain plus health as well. that ensures appropriate milestone in time for babies. ok. better to show to a specialist and get the right opinion as soon as you can.

A. Hello dear parent! Loss of appetite, poor weight gain often indicates vitamin deficiency in your child. Consult your child’s doctor for evaluation and advice. Clarify all your concerns and follow your doctor’s advice diligently. Give your child a well balanced healthy diet and keep hydrated.
