Dear parents, It's very difficult to address a student of google baba. As you have not mentioned the age of son follow; If below 30 weeks. According to me stop milk from 8amto8pm and give semisolid diet like Dal,dalia,khicdi alu kela rice,apple,upama,halwa,patolia,rab,kadi idle poha satu custard etc and from 80pmto8am give mother milk is preferable if not give top milk Withoutwater and add sugar as per your taste. To start with stop milk for 4hrs for 15days and give semisolid diet next 15days stop milk for 8hrs and give semisolid diet lastly stop milk from 8amto8pm and give semisolid diet. For your knowledge 100ml milk gives 70calories of energy 100ml juices give 55calories of energy and 100gm of semisolid diet gives 350calories of energy. Milk do not contain iron, so those babies on milk diet after 6month are suffering from iron deficiency anemia. According to me give following supplements Vitanova d3 drops half ml once a day Feris drops 1ml once a day Zincovit drops one ml once a day syp Ostebon one teaspoon full twice a day .all above for at least 6month. If child above 30weeks give iron syp 5ml twice a day for 6months. Rubired. In diet add jaggery, green vegetables, &coloured fruits.
