Hi Doc. My baby is petite talaga like me and her dad. I have been breastfeeding for almost 2 yrs now. Mix feed si baby kasi mag2yo na siya but 8.10kgs lang siya. Ilang beses po ba dapat kumain ng solid foods si baby in a day? 3x na din ba? Siya kasi 2x lang. Then 300-400ML of formula milk plus direct latch sakin. Should I worry na 8kgs lang siya?😕 any food suggestions pampagain pa ng weight?

Hello po, my LO turned 9 months last Sept. 30, pure breastfed po sya weighing 7.2 kilos po sya, height is 68cm. Tama lang po ba ang weight & height sa age niya? As per pedia na napuntahan namin medyo payat daw si LO ko 🥺pero masigla naman ang baby ko at sobrang likot po. Nakaka worry lang po masabihan na payat si baby, na feel ko na baka hindi enough ung nakukuha niyang milk sa akin.

Hi doctora! hope to get your answer. My toddler is active and is regularly drinking water. she drinks as much as adults do. Kaya lang, biglang nabawasan significantly ang milk. but she's eats solids naman like us, three meals a day. Is it still okay? if nakakaubos siya ng 7-8 glasses of water a day, need pa rin ba mag milk?

Hello po, it’s great that your toddler is drinking water naman and naturally dahan-dahan po talagang mababawasan yung intake ng milk. But it is still better po if we can include ½ cup of whole or 2% milk po per meal just to ensure that most nutrients are covered.

Hi Doc. I just eant to know how much milk should my 8 mos old baby girl should drink in a day, as well as solid food din. Also, I'm worried on my baby's weight as well din po. she's 8 mos now qnd her weight is 6.8kg. The pedia told us na she's small for her age.

Hello po, babies need only a few spoonfuls as they begin po eating solids and we should focus more on nutrient-rich foods especially green veggies. We cannot give honey rin po before 1 year of age because of the risk of infant botulism. Since these first foods are complements and not replacements for your breast milk, a general rule for the quantity of food to offer to a child is one tablespoon per age of each food provided per meal, with more given if the child requests. Half of the “plate” should be vegetables and fruits, and the other half grains and proteins, with dairy on the side. Children should get 2-3 servings of vegetables to ensure adequate intake of nutrients, vitamins and minerals. it’s best to offer them after a late afternoon or evening feeding, when your milk supply is apt to be at its lowest and your baby may still be hungry. When it comes to milk –if breast-fed po – by your baby’s desire.

Good evening Doc! May baby is already 21months old since newborn until now nag EBF lang talaga ako sa kanya. But I tried already so many formulas pero di parin umiinom, i want kase e transition na sya thru formula kase malaki-laki na kase sya. Any suggestion po, hindi naman sya picky eater.
