8 month baby eating only fruits
I started feeding my baby all kinds of foods grains vegetables fruits etc from 6 months. Now she is 8 month old and mostly eats only fruits. She is okay eating egg and mutton also. She does take a bite or so of other foods too sometimes. But she seems to really dislike vegetables. Also she breastfeeding pretty well too. Should I be concerned about her nutrition.Is it okay to let her eat her preferred items or should I force feed her vegetables too.

Hi, I hope your baby's health is good. If yes, then don't worry and don't force feed her any food for that matter.
You can try cooked and mashed vegetables along with dal, cooked vegetable and dal water also. Let her get to know the flavour of different foods. Introduce different foods gradually.
For further information please book an appointment with Practo.

Hello there,
I would request you not to feed baby any form of non- veg till they are 1 year old. Their gut and kidneys are not prepared till then.
Remember, for kids its "demand food".
Also please do not force feed.
They donot understand vegetables, it's just that probably she dislikes savouries, please make khichdi, with soft veg like potato, sweet potato, carrot, and palak leaves 1/2 , beans, beetroot. And to this add gud.
Lastly, do not worry, as she is breatmilk
That's a complete meal til 1 year of age.

Gud evening pls try to not to feed your baby forcefully because it disturbs psychology of the child,try to raise interest in your baby to eat foods by own interest by making the food attractive outside n healthy inside.
