A. dear mum, young babies have small stomach capacity so give small frequent meals encourage feeding by self and along with the family do not force feed. engage child in loving conversations and stories do not bottle feed. milk intake should not be more than 500ml per day this includes Milk products as well. Avoid giving biscuits, instead give homemade snacks.
