Hello Lhizs Shity,



  

Infants aged> 6 months already need other foods as a complement to breast milk to meet their daily nutritional needs. Some mothers encounter problems that their children have difficulty eating or do not want other foods besides breast milk. Causes of children having difficulty eating include:







Babies teething, feeling ache and pain in the gums especially when chewing makes children avoid solid / hard food  

Rejecting new foods, babies feel strange seeing the shape / appearance or taste of new foods that you introduce  

Sprue  

The baby is too full because it is given milk / milk  

Other health problems



Some ways you can do to encourage children to go back to eating are:







Try to use natural processed ingredients, not instant foods  

Make food softer or in the form of porridge  

Introduce types of food one by one, do not be too often struggling to change food at first  

Limit consumption of milk / breast milk or give milk / milk after the child has finished eating his portion  

Give praise when the child wants to eat  

Encourage your child to eat with other children who have a good appetite, so that it triggers his appetite



Take your child to the doctor if you feel weight loss, bowel movement patterns, and delayed development. Thus the explanation from me, may be useful. hello dear, if your baby is breastfeeding then there is no need of giving water to your one month old baby. but if you baby is formula feeding then you can give your baby 1-2 oz of water per day or as directed by your padeatric. hi dear mommy. at 8 months, i used to give all vegetables to my son. to mix with moongdal, i usually suggest carrot, beans, potato, tomato, sweet pumpkin, green peas, cauliflower infants like adults sometimes need help to go but if they feed regularly and drink extra water the incidence should be monomial so if you are worried just give your infant 4 oz of nursery water a day in addition to milk. see more... hello during pregnancy u can eat wt u want but it's also essential to eat right for u and ur growing baby. a well balanced diet filled with all the essential minerals and nutrients is very important. you have to be well hydrated as with water fresh fruit juices butter milk milkshakes etc eat lots of ghee diary products this helps in increasing ur baby s weight . eat lots fruits and vegetables lentils whole grains include high fiber foods so u will have a good iron content with nutrient value. avoid eating or drinking citrus fruits as it can give u acidity. do not eat papaya pineapple as they contain high estrogen levels r bad for ur baby. keep physically active by walking stretching etc so u have fresh oxygen to ur blood. Hello Darahanafi,



  

Basically supplements are not mandatory. Food supplements are only given if necessary, for example when the child has difficulty getting nutrients from daily food or based on the consideration of the doctor who examined the child.



  

As for honey, it's true that honey should be given to children over 1 year of age. This is because giving honey to children under 1 year can increase the risk of honey poisoning / botulism, tooth decay, and obesity.



  

For now, you can give only the original dates, but enough to the child. When the child is 1 year old, you can reconsider giving palm juice and honey or a food supplement that contains both compositions. But you should still consult a doctor to ascertain whether your child really needs supplements or is enough from breast milk and daily breast milk.



  

Hope it helps you,



  

Thank you green veggies! your developing baby needs folic acid for his or her spine to be perfect. the darker green the better especially spinach. i don't remember avoiding any fruits or veggies just wash them first. congrats and goodluck! hi dear baby average weight should be almost 2 kg. but it can go a bit up or low with few grams. no pls avoid junk n outside food...u n.ur baby requires healthy n nutritious diet fr proper growth n development take shatavari with milk , more & more water, methi porridge or halim porridge ..& if at all required lactare tablet ...keep on feeding as & when baby needs

breastfeeding works on supply = demand rule 


all you have to check is 6+ wet diapers in 24 hours if so baby is all healthy active and so does your supply 

meanwhile keep yourself hydrated and have balanced diet for good flow 👍🏻

babies latch due to several reasons could be hunger , thirst , comfort , love ❤️
