Baby Refusing milk and food
My baby is refusing milk and food, he is not ready to take, when forcefully giving, he vomits during drinking or eating... he is almost 7 months now. He is completely on formula feed. Giving him nan pro 2.... he is constipated also, although passing stool everyday as I'm helping him by putting his knees near his tummy, he passes hard stool with too much pressure, he cries also during passing. Dr suggested vitazyme 0.5 drops thrice a day. But I'm confused to hive or not, what can i do, any other meds that'll work? Pls help

Is your child well and not running a tempeature etc? Try various forms of semi solid foods ,like mashed banana in milk/ curd, pureed apples,mashed potatoes, moong dal khichdi ( gradually introducing one vegetable at a time like carrots, potatoes, bottle gourd, beans etc in it). All this will add roughage to the diet and help in his stools. You can give half a teaspoon of honey morning evening to soften the stools. Vitazyme can be given . Take care

As already suggested by doctor , please keep a gap of at least 3 hours to 4 hrs between meals and
at least 2 to 3 hours after milk
Increase semisolids including vegetables
Give more water...you can give water half an hour after any meal
You can give Vitazyme
