Hi Dr. Jasmine! My 2 year old toddler (almost 3) eats a lot of solid foods, she can eat a whole meal like an adult would. However, she would only drink 2 cups of milk a day? Is that still okay? How much solids and how much milk should she consume at her age? Thank you in advance!

Hi Dra. My son is 4 years old. and until now di pa rin siya kumakain ng kanin. biscuits at mga snacks lng kinakain nia. pag dating sa kanin at mga ulam niluluwa niya at away tlga nia. when he was 6mos hanggang before siya mag 1yr. he's eating nman, mga lugaw, cerelac. then when he turned 1 yr old kahit lugaw ayaw na nia, and until now gatas lng ang gusto nia 🥹

Hi doc, yung baby girl ko po 2mos old na. Medyo nabbothered lang po ako kung sapat ba yung nutrients na nakkuha nya sa milk ko :( medyo maliit po kasi sya at hnd ganun ka laki at kabigat. nasa 4.2kilo lang po sya ngayon, mix feeding po ako sknya.

hi Dra, my baby will start semi solid na po, gaano kadami at ilang beses sa isang araw ang meal po nya dapat? dapat bang startan ko muna sa 2 tbsp per meal? also dapat na ba sya painumin ng water after meal o milk nalang? EBF po sya ever since

hi dra, picky eater po si baby for 2yrs old. pg hindi nya gusto ayaw talaga kumain and if gusto ilang subo lang din.more on formula milk sya. so yung nagagawa, hinahaluan na lng ng different cooked grind veggies yung milk nya. 12.7kls po sya.

Hi doc my boy is 3yrs old picky eater broccoli lang gusto niya kainin no other veggies though im glad makain siya ng fruits but im worried if he get enough nutrients needed lalo at sobra likot niya anyway non stop pa din formula milk niya,.

Hello Irish, still a good news that your toddler is eating veggies  Important to note po to possibly be mindful of the amount of formula milk we are providing, lalo na kung bottle-fed si baby – kasi baka dun na sya nabubusog and mamiss out nya yung ibang nutrients. Being picky eater is quite common among toddlers so it is important to provide options, and provide a variety of food paonti-onti para lumawak din yung tastes options nila and they will be willing to try more types of food.

Doc, totoo po ba yung bawal patulugin si baby pagkatapos kumain? How long after eating solids can baby sleep? Ano po ba mangyayari if biglang nakatulog kasi yung baby ko po inaantok after mag lunch eh. Thank u po!

Depending on the age of the baby and timing of the feeding, usually, 2 hours after feeding po is recommended before nap time. At this stage of their life, it is important to have a distinction between mealtime and bed time. Just like adults, it is also important to note that carbohydrates and sugar is also being processed from the milk, and this may affect your baby’s quality of sleep. You’re welcome po :)

Hi po mix feed po ako and nagsosolid food na din si little one.. and formula..16 months pero prang kulang sya sa timbang :( mga 1.5klos and up) mlakas naman mgeat and 3x a day milk.. pls help po, slamat

Bakit ganun doc nung under 1 year old si baby, sobrang mahilig po siya sa gulay and fruits, pero ngayong toddler biglang umaayaw na sa ibang gulay na dating gusto naman niya? how do we reintroduce it?

It's quite common for the young ones to become picky eaters lalo na po when they become toddlers. Also, madali na rin po silang madistract with their environment kaya as much as possible, less distractions sana while eating. As mentioned earlier po, provide a wide variety of options for the kid po, yung sila po yung papapiliin nyo para ma-engage sila, not a yes or no question po. Involve them more on the preparation or cooking process para they “Experience” the food more and will be familiar to them. It will also be helpful po kung nakikita nung bata that the adults are eating the same vegetables and fruits for them to be encouraged to eat it as well.

Hello po ask lang po. Mejo humina npo milk na nkukuha ko per session nsa 1oz nalang. 2 years old npo si baby. Okay lng po ba 2oz nabbgay ko morning pero pguwi ko unli dede npo siya skin.
