Hi mam You didnt mention your baby birth weight Till 6 months mothers milk is enough for babies growth after 6 month you need to start weaning food as solid semisolids and full solid homemade diets from 7-8 months you should keep in touch with your pediatrician Every month to update and change your babys diet Problem occurs only when you r hesitant doubtful anxious about giving solid foods and mothers r in doubt that solids r not digested or their baby dislike food given this is not true and you have to have a confident and gentle patient approach to wean homemade solids Hence again milk serving is continued till 1 year and after again blame is put on your babies Babys enter toddler group after 1 year and they r playful not intetested much in food more adamant in each and evey attitude still more worsen with ovet pampered children Again after 1 year things r more worsen when your baby know how to get their needs and aviod solids by vomiting keeping food for long or nauseates All mothers r pushed to a corner tellingthat i tried all methods but my baby is not eating but its not Many more ways r untouched or not seen because of our frustration and anxiety Relax think patiently dont have emotional factors come in every time u say about your babies diet Its you only you have the responsibility to change your babies diet not any one else in this world even if 100 tmes you try you should again try to change patiently Only relaxed cool and with extreme patience mother can think wisely and identify further new ways dish that your baby likes After 1 year you can give all type of food stuffs we eat daily so try food stuffs from our own plate and give foods while family members eat Dont give seperate meak time for your kids Give small quantities in intervals having multiple options in each time in food stuffs may help Avoid daily routines monotonous seperate preparation for kids Moreover believe your kid has small tummy few mouths of food or half glass of milk is enough to make them roam around with energy If you r non vegetarian try that too in different ways As pediatrician we can giude and give tips But you have to execute and plan with extreme patience and hope to make suceesful weaning Never never ever give up Thanks
