Introduction

When the child begins to eat other eatables besides mother’s milk or when it becomes 4 months old, mother’s milk is not enough for their growth. In this stage, the growth of the child is most important. If child does not get a proper diet in this period, its growth is affected badly and becomes victim of other malnutrition.
If the child is not getting enough mothers’ milk, give food stuffs for proper growth.

Give such food in little quantity to the child which can be easily digestible. Give only fresh and clean food and utensils should be also cleaned, because the child can fall sick and loose motions can start in the case of any type of dirtiness.

Therefore, well cooked digestible food should be given to the child in neat and clean utensils.

Food stuffs given to the child:-

Banana, soft rice, cooked pulses, fruits juice, etc. should be given to the child. When the child digests all these things easily, a preparation of rice and pulse boiled together should be given after mixing it in milk. Besides them, apple without peels and milk pudding should be also given.
