Motion problem
My son is 6.5 months old. We have started solids from 6th month. After started solids he doesn't poop daily and he struggles to eat any food so has reduced the weight. How to make baby to eat food and digest it properly?
Give your child ragi , dal rice mixed with mashed veggies in the diet ( high fibre content). For more information connect with me over a video consultation.
Thank you

Introduce one new food at a time. Give each new food for atleast 3 days before adding a new food item to the diet. This helps in ruling out allergies. Until 1 year of age the main source of nutrition for baby is breastmilk or formula milk. So don't worry if solid intake is less.
Next Steps
continue breastfeeding or formula feeding. please consult for more feeding advice if needed.

Yes correct its because of faulty feeding practices regarding starting complimentary feeds.
Did you take any diet sessions before starting complimentary feeds( after 6 months we advise how to proceed in consistency frequency and type of food).
