what is the correct diet for a seven and half month old baby boy?
Question:
Answers:
For a healthy baby, a good diet would be breastfeeding as he expresses the need, plus optionally small amounts (1/4 tsp. to 1 tsp. per day) of healthy solid foods of your choice.
Other Answers:
You should ask his doctor since he has some health issues. Answers here may not take such a highly important fact into consideration.
i would ask the doc aswell because of the fact that he has health problems and asking people on here don't know what they are talking about half the time and you wouldn't want to take the risk of putting ur babies life in danger.
Because of the health issues check with your doctor but here is a basic guide:
What to feed
• Breast milk or formula, PLUS
• Iron-fortified cereals (rice, barley, oats)
• Pureed or strained fruits (banana, pears, applesauce, peaches)
• Pureed or strained vegetables (avocado, well-cooked carrots, squash, and sweet potato)
How much per day
• 3 to 9 tablespoons cereal, in 2 to 3 feedings
• 1 teaspoon fruit, gradually increased to ¼ to ½ cup in 2 to 3 feedings
• 1 teaspoon vegetables, gradually increased to ¼ to ½ cup in 2 to 3 feedings
