Baby weight issue
My 1 year old baby is not putting weight. Breast milk was less from the beginning so I had to put my twins on formula. My first baby does not drink formula and his appetite is low and he looks very thin but my second baby is healthy and she drinks formula. What should be done to increase his appetite. I am giving 3-4 formula feed in a day. He will drink maximum 3 ounces of milk but my second baby can drink up to 7 ounces of formula.

Dear parents,
According to me stop milk in day from 8amto8pm &give semisolid diet like Dal,dalia,khicdi alu kela rice,apple,upama,halwa,patolia,rab,kadi idle poha satu custard etc.
Give milk from 80pmto8am.
For your knowledge 100ml milk gives 70 calories of energy, 100ml juices give 55 calories of energy, semi solid diet 100gm gives 350calories,.
To start with stop milk for 4hrs for 15day &gives semisolid diet, next 15days stop milk for 8hrs &gives semisolid diet, lastly stop milk from 8amto8pm &give semisolid diet.
