Q My baby is 20 months old. She hardly takes any meals. And does not drink water at all. And she is on formula milk... Is formula milk good for her or fresh milk is good...and how can i make her have meals.
Buffalos milk or whole milk from tetra pack is the better alternative than Formula. Cows milk is fine but not now. Do not worry about the water. When she starts on foods she feels thirsty. Never force anything. Finger foods are to be started first slowly before proceeding to a proper meal. Your Baby Needs Variety in Her Diet. Try to find out what are her likes, give her liking food with variety in it. Choose the diet from the following categories. 1) Bread, cereal, rice, pasta. 2) Vegetables. 3) Fruits. 4) Fish, chicken, eggs, Meat and pulses. 5) Milk and cheese. Try to fit one variety from each category in the meal. Do not force it may reverse. Your baby may take only one out of each, reject the other four. Try each time she may like few of the varieties. Remember patience is the only way and no medicine for it.
