[|Human|] Hi Doc, My son is 7.5 months old. He weighs 6.9 kg now. He was 2.3 kgs at birth. I feel that my milk supply has reduced substantially these days.My milk alone is not able to satisfy his hunger, so i have started reducing the frequency of breastmilk and increasing the frequency of solids. His schedule is 7 PM-Breastmilk, 9 PM-Cerelac-Rice mixed with 1 finely ground almond. 12 PM- Raagi, 3 PM- 3 ounce stage 2 Emfamil milk,5 PM- Breast milk, 6.30- Cerelac- Wheat mixed with 1 date(khajoor) boiled and mashed nicely or Cerelac-(Rice-Wheat-moong dal khichdi- this one is the latest addition to cerelac stage 1 food) or suji/rava porridge, 8.30- banana porridge and then he goes to sleep. he gets up 2 times at night and i feed him breastmilk. I give him around 10-15 ml of orange or grape juice occasionally. Havent started much of vegetables yet, have tried pumpkin which he sometimes eat, sometimes doesnt.Used to eat bananas nicely but has stopped eating it offlate. My questions are: 1) Am i feeding him too much solids? Should I be giving him more breastmilk or emfamil( infant formula milk)?He doesnt take more than 3 ounces of emfamil at a stretch, sometime only 2 ounce. Forcing him to have more results in puking out the milk. 2) Is he getting adequate nutrition or should i include anything else in his diet? 3) Will feeding too much Cerelac make him fat in coming future? He loves cerelac right now. Just for information ,he looks thinner than average babies, but taller than average ones. Waiting for a reply. Reshmi
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks and welcome to Chat Doctor. Breastmilk is sufficient in the first 6 months only. From 7 months onwards start wending him from breastfeeding and introduce Carla as well as other formula feeds. The foods offered by you are quite good and continue. You may completely stop Breastmilk as it no longer provides all the needs of the baby after 6 months age. Hope this answer serves your purpose. Please feel free to ask further queries if any.
