HI all mommies..M so glad ive; You all to share n solve my worries
Today my concern is about my babies healthy eating habits
I always try to maintain a time table with my baby ...If ive given him sweet in the morning than il give something not sweet in the evening ..also two solids in a day n rest formula or bf..one fruit in a day..
But my Mother in law have started interfering ..as m working mother i always tell her what to give baby when m not home ..still ive seen many times qhen i return my baby is either eating some parantha or Besan ki papadi or mango shake...or biscuits.
I get so angry but i cannot say anything to her as she s my MIl of il say anything then it will lead to big arguments...also as m working she l get upset n might not take care of my baby n she l ask me to keep a nanny for my baby which i dont want to do..
M So worried n restless in my mind...pls help what should i do..
How can i maintain my babys eating habits..

Reshma I too feel there is no concern about Paratha or besan papdi in fact it is good if we include our family meal minus salt and sugar from 6 months onwards, that's what traditional weaning says. Yes biscuits are matter of concern. You can ask her to give family food and not biscuits, mango is also fine.

Dear thank your stars at least you have an MIL who cares and looks after your child. Have a positive perception. You can relax if the baby has some mango without the milk, in bits. Paratha too in bits won't really harm at month 8. Post month 7-8, it is safe to let kids explore with home made foods. Also, don't just tell your mom in law not to give something. If you have a prob with a specific food,; tell her the doctor has disallowed the same. For instance cow milk nd biscuits.; <br>
And it won't really harm anyone. Be tactful and happy.

hi reshma - u can say you had a weaning class with an expert on babychakra and this is the suggested time table (i hope u had a weaning class session with ur pead?) . we have had lots of livechats on weaning foods - u can even search on app so u have a fair idea and u're not being untruthful to ur MIL :) it's really good to follow a timetable - i did the same. but i took a break from work and we are a nuclear family so i didn't face those issues. give her a fair idea - maintain a food diary and gently explain to her that biscuits is a big no no. and besan in the evening will give baby gas. have u started giving baby top milk? usually one is supposed to give after one year is completed so mango shake with milk might be an issue. mango pulp is awesome to give though.
