Child Picky About Eating, Does Not Like Formula Milk. Is Nido Safe For Child?
My Baby is very picky about eating. He is 6 months old and I havent found a fórmula he enjoys drinking we have tried many different formulas: Similac Neosure, Enfamil Gentleease, Gerber Goodstart, Similac Sensitive, Alimentum, Nutrimigen and Earths Best Soy Formula thinking he was sensitive to milk but nothing has worked. He will drink it ok for a couple of days or even a week a then just starts spitting it out. He was born underweight and being a picky eater has made gaining weight more challenging. I was given Nido as a child when I lived in México will it be ok to try that on my 6 month old aby? Or is there another formula you think he might like and motivate him to eat more?

Hi,
Nido is not preferred milk for 6 months old.
After 1 year may be you van try nido junior.
Now there are other brands like enfamil. ,aptamil.etc which you can try.
Continue to use even if he spits.
He will get over spitting in a week.
Also you will be hiving weaning food by now like cerelac,fruits,etc and milk intake will become less.
Good luck

Hi,thank you for your interest in HCM to clear your doubts.As your child is very picky in eating and the baby is 6 months old and you have changed so many to find out the suitable formula,i suggest as it is time for weaning,you start him on weaning food items which are easily and routinely available in your area as well as economical so that the Gastro-intestinal tract gets adjusted to the food item,that is being given to the baby.
