Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 10 month baby weighs 6.9kg. She does not eat much solids and is breastfeed. What can i give to increase appettite? Her doctor has given us Scots Emulsion but it is not helping. I have taken her for blood tests, kidney , liver and heart screening. Everything seems to be alright. No fever just refusing food. Please help
Hi. Thanks for your query. Relax,there is nothing to worry.since she is active. Such behavior is commonly seen in infants. Give coconut water,fresh fruit juice,vegetable soup,yoghurt.
Hi, Thanks for asking query on health care magic. Not accepting is a problem with almost all children. Offer a particular food repeatedly. once he accepts then introduce a new food. You need to take more time for feeding and offer those foods he likes than the foods which you feel they are good for him. Offer fruit juices, buttermilk. smashed potatoes ,vegetable soups, and any other food you like to feed. He should consume minimum 100 cal/kg body weight per day. Double boiled rice with dal and ghee will help. Hope this answer will serve your purpose. Please feel free to ask any more queries if required. Take care Dr.M.V.Subrahmanyam MD; DCH. Associate professor of pediatrics, MIMS.
