  • 24 Herbal remedies for cold and cough for babies-Winter Special

    24 Herbal remedies for cold and cough for babies-Winter Special

    It is a very painful feeling when your baby spend sleepless nights, become cranky, not able to breath properly, due to cough.

    My daughter is a March-born baby, so her starting 6 months was without any cold and cough as the weather in Rajasthan was warm till September. I remember the time when she had cold for the first time. It was such a bad feeling, especially because she didn’t like any allopathic syrups. She used to vomit right after taking any medicines for cold and cough and the food I gave her with so much efforts also vomited out.

  • Food for 11-12 months Baby

    Food for 11-12 months Baby

     

    In 11 and 12 Months most Babies need :

    • Solid foods three times a day. By now your baby should be eating a variety of different foods and taking an active role at mealtimes by self-feeding and drinking from a sippy cup.

    Read: Different Learning activities for 1 to 2 years baby2016/01/13

    • At 11 to 12 months: 22 to 30 ounces of breast milk or formula in a 24-hour period. Beginning at 12 months, your baby can transition to whole cow’s milk and should drink less than 30 ounces a day (more than this can reduce your child’s appetite for other healthy foods and can lead to iron deficiency anemia).

     

    • A little less than 14 hours of sleep in a 24-hour period  this includes nighttime sleep and naps. Two naps during the day (morning and afternoon) is typical, though some babies will move toward just one long nap each day.
