Dear parents,
Weaning should Start After completing 6 months.
According to me Stop milk from morning 8am to 8pm.
And give semisolid Diet like dal daliya khichdi rice ALU kela upama halwa rab kadi patoliya idli poha satu custard etc.
For your knowledge 100ml of milk gives 70 calories 100ml of juices Give 55 calories and 100gm of semisolid Diet gives 350 calories.
Milk çan be given from 8pm to 8am.
To start with for first' 15days Stop milk for 4hrs and give semisolid Diet,next 15 days Stop milk 8hrs and give semisolid Diet lastly Stop milk from morning 8am to 8pm and give semisolid Diet
