Not yet started talking
Hi doctor, my baby is 2 years and 5 months old (boy baby). He just started talking few words like anna, appa, wow, hello and ho dear. Very rarely he tells amma apart from that no other words ( he speaks his own words). What is the maximum time baby take to talk. What is the reason why they are taking time to talk normally like other babies at this age.
While eating he keeps everything in mouth. By doing this he ends up in eating 6 to 7 spoon.(daily I prepare mixed veg, dal and rice sometime paneer) Day by day his weight is reducing. Now he is 10 kg but he is active. Suggest anything that his apitite increase. Early morning and at bed time I give milk.
Thanks a lot for your time and suggestions.

Hi,
Reduce milk and biscuits and increase complementary feeds 5-7 times/ day. Make food calorie dense by adding ghee.

Dear parents.
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.
For your knowledge 100ml milk gives 70calories of energy 100ml juices give 55calories of energy and 100gm of semisolid diet gives 350calories of energy.
Increase calories intake baby will start talking
