some more short queries

Detailed Query: Just potty trained my 3 year old son. How do I get him to pee standing? I\\\'m his father.

first make him comfortable with the toilet environment.
take his clothes off, run the tap and encourage him to pass.
you may stand next to him! this works very well.


================================


juices, smashed feeds, vegetables, oat milk etc for 6 month old


Is oatmeal meal preffered for a 6.5 month baby?
=== no. prefered diet is rice based cereals. also read infant weaning at http://infantfeeding.blogspot.com


> In fruits which fruits are good, i tried apple but he had a cough, banana causes cold i heard from inlaws, which ones to give which will not cause baby a problem?
=== all fruits are ok.. but they should be more of juicy forms and later mashed up. juices for 6-8 months. dont use chilled frsh juices. medium ripe bananas can be used.. if you steam them a bit before feeds.. you wont get cold. pomegranates can cause constipation. chiku and pinapple juices are good too.

juices.. thicker juices and later after a month.. smashed feeds.

all are fine. avoid coriander, you may use spinach, alfaalfa, methi, etc, but use them as soups. avoid leafy fragments that can stick to throat. u may add salt or pepper fro soups. or may mix with beet or carrot juices.
