My son is 11 months old and has problem of feeding.
He is not taking milk, porridge, malenge and he can’t take any meal twice. Kindly advice.

At this age, your baby is quite aware on different tastes and foods. Most babies will prefer to eat the same food that you are and might reject “baby food”. I would advice that you:
<ol>
<li>Feed him from your family meals and he would probably feed better.</li>
<li>Remember that your baby’s tummy is not big and he can regulate what he eats; follow your baby’s cues, feed him what he likes to eat, give small meals many times.</li>
<li>Allow him to feed himself; he will feel like he has control and eat a bit more.</li>
<li>Avoid giving juice and other drinks as they make a baby prefer those rather than milk.</li>
</ol>
