Please guide me how can I develop a habit of using feeder for my 7 months old baby? I am also a working lady and during my working hours he never takes feeder. Getting weak and the doctor said he is anemic as well.

Dear Patient,

Milk has nothing to do with anemia. He will have to be given maltofer or any other iron supplement as suggested by his pediatrician.
For the milk, you can express or use formula and have someone else give it to him in the feeder, it can be a grandmother, a maid or his dad but not you. If you have been nursing him then kids get used to the mother and never take the bottle from her. So someone else has to step up and help you here. Persistence and patience are key.

Moreover, if you need further help, we recommend checking with a best child specialist in Lahore and seek a piece of in-person advice at https://oladoc.com/pakistan/lahore/child-specialist
