Suggest Alternate Food Apart From Breast Milk

Posted on Fri, 12 Jan 2018

Question: Hi Doctor,
My daughter is approx. 10.5 months old.

1. She has almost stopped taking mother's feed now. Is it ok?
2. With Mother's feed, we were giving her nan Pro 1 till 6 months and Nan pro 2 after she completed 6 months till now. Can we start giving her cow or XXXXXXX milk now or shall we continue giving formula milk (Nan pro 2) only?

Regards,
xxxx

Brief Answer:
Please continue only NanPro 2 till 1 year of age

Detailed Answer:
Hi....Please continue only NanPro 2 till 1 year of age.

I suggest you not to give cow or XXXXXXX milk till completion of 12 months of age.

Avoid non vegetarian and even egg till 1 year of age and ground nuts till 2 years of age.

Thanks Doctor for your reply.
Few more queries:

1. What is the adequate milk feed frequency and quantity for 10.5 month old baby?
2. We are giving her one almond soaked or grated and raisin sometimes. Is it ok?
3. We generally keep CFL light in the room which is not bright light. Not sure if we shall use normal tubelight for better light or CFL is ok for baby eyes? Please suggest.

Regards,
xxxxx

Suggestions on infant feeding

Detailed Answer:
Hi.... coming to your queries one by one -

1. There are no set guidelines as to how much to feed and how frequently to feed. It's all demand feeding. If the baby demands, you can feed as much as the baby consumes and as frequently as the demand.

2. You can feed with soaked almonds and raisins.

3. For a 10.5 months old baby, any light is OK. No specific restriction or recommendation.
