Any dishes suitable for her. Thanks
If your baby is refusing to eat solid food even at 1 year old, you must consult a good paed Dr and get a check up done. Please check if she is hungry, does she play a lot and then get hungry? Are you giving her too much milk and less solids? Have you tried fruits like banana etc? Try to feed her little amount but every 2-3 hours. Maybe she needs a change, so go out to the park or playarea, try giving her some food and see if she still rejects.
Do you give gripe water?? Try mother's bliss gripe water in the morning.. Wait 15 to 20 mts from your usual feeding time and then give food to the baby.She will then try to eat out of hunger. Consult your pediatrician
My toddler was extremely picky eater, there would be some days where he would just drink a bottle of milk ALL DAY! HUgs to you, been there done that....first let me ask you, are you feeding her? (i mean your breastmilk?)..... I weaned my toddler at 22 months and ONLY AFTER that he started eating normally...if you are feeding here, you need to wean her ASAP, that the mistake I did, I should have stopped but mama-baby love came in way, he is our first child. finally I had to as I was pregnant again and its considered not good for both of us to continue breastfeeding.. within few days, his diet improved and he started eating normally that being said, he still doesnt eat a full chapati, sometimes nil, prefers rice..he is still lean kid but on average weight.. there will be days and weeks when babies go through this phase of not eating..plz dont worry, as long as they are having one good meal and milk, they should be fine...... also, you need to start giving her less milk and more solids because they need iron for brain development, and iron is not present in milk, Iron deficiency also causes babies to eat less...once you supplement iron (please make sure she is deficient, else it will be bad to give excess iron, get it checked at pediatricians office), she will have her appetite back..... good luck
Hi, Give every feed in less quantity(including milk)..If she denies food in take,give a break for 1 hour.Make her to play for sometime.Don't force too much to eat,it creates hatred towards food and you will have to continue this forcing for another 5-6 years.consult with the doctor and try to add fibre food daily as improper pooing cycle can also be a reason.
