Brief Answer:
Calcimax dose suggested - don't worry about milk intake
Detailed Answer:
Hi.... coming to your queries one by one -
1. You can give the baby Syrup Calcimax at 3.5 ml twice a day for 3 months.
2. This is not constipation...do not worry.
3. It is not imperative that milk has to be given definitely. I agree that milk is a good source of calcium.
4. Breast feeding can be given till 24 months of age....so you can continue till 2 years of age.
5. Apart from milk, other home-made food options will be -
a. Daal and rice well cooked and made into a porridge along with ghee
b. Boiled apple or banana and mashed into a paste.
c. Any made cereal porridge preparation with additional ghee added.
Remember certain principles like -
1. Add one food material / cereal or fruit per week. This will be useful because if he develops vomiting or diarrhoea, we will know what to avoid.
2. Add vegetables and fruits made into a paste surely to avoid constipation.
3. Do not add too much sugar as it may cause diarrhoea.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
