Hello Dr. Can I give my 11 month old baby banana milkshake or apple milkshake with dry fruits as breakfast? Not everyday but twice a week? Also my 11 month old baby drinks around 17 ounce of formula in a day. Is it adequate?

Don't give dry fruits. Dry fruits is advisable for children above 2 years. You can start with either apple shake or banana shake. Start with a tablespoon a day and gradually increase to 1 cup. The infants are easily confused with the foods and become fussy eater afterwards. To develop the taste of food, introduce food gradually and repeat after a fortnight. Formula feed is adequate.
