Hi. Pls start with semisolids made at home at least 3 times a day in small amounts. Rice/ ragi/ pulses/ mashed ripe fruits/ boiled and mashed vegetables etc. Can add little ghee/ butter/ olive oil. Try not to add sugar/salt. Boiled and cooled water after feeds. In between breastfeed.
Next Steps
pls do not panic...it's absolutely normal that baby does not like the taste of formula. it will be better to start with semisolids now in whatever amount the baby takes. Pls do not force feed.
