A. exclusive breastfeeding has to be continued till completion of 6 months of age and you have to drink plenty of water and at least 500 ml milk everyday as well as homemade food from cereals pulses vegetable milk arrnd fruits daily e as well as you can go for shatavari supplement which will also help in increasing the breast milk formation also take multivittamins iron calcium and vitamin d along with folic acid. follow all this steps to increase breast milk formation

A. For Initial six months of birth if a mother does not have sufficient feeding or she wants to go for mixed feeding it has to be formula that she can do for after six months completion you can try going for toned Pasteurise milk if that is going to Suit wrll and lastly cows milk can only be given to the child after the age of 12 months
