Talk to Pediatrician on Underweight
Asking for Other, Male, 1.6 years old, Karachi
My baby age 16 month was born underweight, and now hes weighting 8kg, hes very active MashAllah, he burns all his calories I thnk. Plz guide me with a meal plan and how much quantity he should intake in one time. Right now he eats approx 125-175gm . Cerelac Khidchi Suji hareera In different timings. But hes stomach mostly seems empty when I put him to sleep. Hes on BF, I try to give him Formula milk once a day. SIMILAC3. Plz help me out , he cannot chew, only front teeth , four up, two below ones. I give everything in puree form.
Don't take stress. When did weaning started?? When did you stop breast feed and put him on top feed?
Good enough!
You can add formula milk more than once.. especially when baby is about to sleep..just give him a bottle.
