Today I had a meeting with the health visitor at my home. The lady came on dot. She gave me some books that I should read to my son. I asked her why he is not gaining weight. She calculated the weight on and told me that ideally he should be 9 kg ( he is 7 kg). I told her that my son is a fussy eater. He doesn’t eat much and I have to move after him all the time to get something in his mouth. The health visitor told me to stop force feeding. She said that I should get him to be hungry, instead of running after him. If his stomach is half full, he won’t show interest in eating. But if I keep a gap of 3 hours, he will surely get hungry. Variety is the keyword here.
She also told me not to give him more than half banana a day. I was giving him one or sometimes one and a half banana every day. Banana is the only food, he eats with interest. The lady said that half banana is sufficient for the baby’s little tummy. We had a friendly chat and she also told me about Lipofuze and different ways to reduce weight.
