What Causes Acid Reflux In An Infant?
Question: Hello,
I have started solids for my 7 month old since last month. My paed suggested me to include ragi in his diet. I gave him ragi porridge after cooking in water for 5 minutes and adding banana. After that he suffered for whole day from severe gas. He has gas issues from day 1. He is ebf, so whenever I have peanuts, he suffer from gas.
Now I am not sure if I should give him ragi again or not. He was crying whole day yesterday due to gas.
Also, what should be done in such cases?

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
If your son has issues with ragi, I would insist on trying other food items.
Consider your ABCs - applesauce, bananas, and cereal (rice, biscuits dipped in milk, or roti softened with milk/water). Boiled rice and dal with vegetables and give in mashed form. Gradually increase the amount and frequency. Introduce one new food item per week and stick to it at least for the week.
You can try the following items:
Apple rice cereal
Rice milk cereal
Sprouts vegetable soup
Moong dal soup
Idli with rasam or sambar
Set dosa
atta halwa (Wheat cereal)
apple oats porridge
vegetable oats porridge(blend it in a blender till smooth)
milk oats porridge
Sabudana kheer
Sago carrot payasam
Barley kheer
