Hi Doc.. My daughter is 10 months old and her birth weight is 6.2lbs and now she is 15 lbs. she looks so lean. I am giving her mothers milk and rice, even then she did not put on much weight. Can you give me any advice to increase her weight. She is very active girl, thought this might be the reason. Thank you so much for your time. Dolly.
Hi mam, one thing which I would suggest is formula milk. Because baby would definitely require additional calcium which is not sufficient with breast milk, hence formula feed has to be given. There is a nutrition dip at this weaning age, hence nutritional supplements has to be given till this dip is sufficed with natural food. One should ensure that the infant takes fruits, vegetables and rice DAL every day. Do visit your doctor and check for anemia. So the kid has to be put on calcium, iron and multivitamin syrups. Well, hope it improves your kids' health. Tc
