Dear parents,
At one year baby should be 3times the birth weight.
From 8am to 8pm stop milk & give semi solid diet like Dal, dalia, khichdi, rice, alu, kela, apple, upaama, halwa, patoliya, raab, kadi, idle, poha etc.
In milk there is 80% water so child do not drink water but when you stop milk & give semi solid diet, he start drinking water.
100ml milk gives 70 calories of energy.
100gm food gives 350 calories of energy.
100ml juices gives 55 calories of energy.
So start giving semi solid diet.
