Easum or Nestum?

Padmini,

Boys have more appetite as compared to girls that's what my mother was saying. So just be prepared for it.

At five months, I gave banana, ragi combined with wheat only once, and milk only. At six months, I gave a four time schedule as ragi, oats, dhalia, rice with veggies, fruits - apple, banana. Now LO is used to the schedule and makes no fusses. If you can postpone ragi till 5.5 months it will be good. My paed asked me to give dal water, ragi, banana and milk only till six months.

In case, your LO is eating well, then he should not be constipated, atleast I didn't face this problem with DD unless there is too much of iron in the diet.

All the best. You can try giving the semi solids week by week, and check for allergies or suitability, as Pooh mentioned even I feel its trial and error once in life everyone has to go through loose bowels, it can only be controlled with proper hygiene and good diet.
