Hello mam,
Your website is great. It helps us a lot.
My 7 month old has constipation. Please help me in this issue. Also please suggest shall I give him banana or not.
Dear, for any home remedies, simply put the word in search bar on the site and you will get it. I guess by now the little one is healthy. Here is some help on constipation https://www.mylittlemoppet.com/10-ways-to-relieve-constipation-in-babies/
Ma’am; I am a working mom. I baby will be only 4.5 months old when I rejoin my duty. I wish not to feed her with bottle or formula feeds. I have sufficient breast milk and she has gained weight also. Can you guide me when to start weaning in my case and what to give her while she is in the daycare.
Please start weaning from sixth month, check the food chart in this website. The daycare food ideas are available and you can search for them.
Hi Mam,
Your products and website is an awesome find and a definite keeper. I was looking for basics to start weaning my lil one and you have been gracious to document it all in the website. I have a query which has been lingering behind my head for a while. you had mentioned abt the 3 day thumb rule while starting on new solids. But when I look at the chart, that’s applicable only during the 6th month. From the 7th month the diet chart has a well balanced and nutritious meal, but I don’t see the 3 day thumb rule applicable from the 7th month. Please can you clarify on how it needs to be and why.
Thank you,
Nisha
Dear Nisha,
The 3 day rule can be implemented for every new food, but documenting in every food chart will be confusing for the readers, so i have skipped it
Hi Hema,
Thank you for the informative articles. MyLittleMoppet is my reference guide whenever i have a doubt or regarding some traditional myths 🙂
Is it alright to give raw apple or pear puree for infants? because they turn brown once they are blended…
Thanks!!!
Yes you cna give raw purees, it turns brown due to oxidation, better give it within 10 minutes of preparation
Can you please post a pic of how much runny meal should be prepared for a 5 month old baby? I have started solids for lo recently, but a little confused with the consistency!!!!
