Which milk is the best for babies from 6 to 12 months?
Patient: HI DOCTOR, would like to ask if what is the best milk for babies 6-12 months? I was using mixed....because im working for now i feed her with nan pro one...do i need to continue the milk?doc is it true that much prefer to use milk which can help to develop the brain? Doctor: At 6 months of age, it is already time for weaning. It is basically a transition to the adult diet. At this age milk is simply not adequate to meet the nutritive requirements of the body for which semi solids need to be introduced. If you give milk, it is just an optional element and you can give any milk that the child can tolerate. NAN pro 1 is for children below 6 months. You may give NAN 2. Rather, give any sort of adult food low on spices in a mashed up form. Give a boiled rice based diet. Add pulses and vegetables to it. You can also add chicken or eggs in mashed form. You can give fruits in grated form. No need to boil fruits if they can be otherwise converted to semi solid form. Instead of formula feeds, these are more nutritive and should be given. I hope that these will help the baby gain weight. For brain development, omega 3 fatty acids play an important role. These are found in sea fishes. I would prefer those rather than opting for supplements.
