Baby feeding

Breastfeeding is the only food for a new born. It should be continued up to 2-2 1/2 years. In the meanwhile other foods can also be given. I think babies require only breast milk till their sixth month.I think normally we have to feed them every two hours and let them play or sleep. Its good to feed them full and then let him.Its not good to feed him Many others don’t agree with this statement. but anyway I gave only breast milk till his sixth month. After his sixth month we gave him Ragi, Banana power then wheat then cerealac in a semi solid form. We normally use jaggery for mixing the Ragi, banana wheat etc. That is best for babies .They will eat also because of its fine taste. Also its good for a strong body. But usually when they are an year old they will stop eating all these things .This is because at this time their interest will be only on playing. We should not compel them to eat food because it will affect them psychologically .The best practice is to let them play and eat when they becomes hungry.
All the above written things can be followed if the mother is a house-wife .If she is working then semi solid food or milk substitutes should be started at that time.Constipation is one of the problem that occurs at this age. We can give fresh fruit juice to reduce constipation.
