Q.

#askthedoctor my daughter is an exclusive breastfed baby. I’m trying to introduce bottle and formula to her, but she’s rejecting totally. I’m worried about her weight gain. Please share tips to get her used to bottle and if just breastfeeding is enough till 6 months. Thank you

A. Dear mum, you should continue with exclusive breastfeeding till 6 months complete. Breast milk is most nutritious and complete food for baby till 6 months. You should avoid formula and bottle feeding. Bottle feeding can be a source of infection for your baby. It interferes with your baby’s teeth development and is a difficult habit to get rid of.

Q. #asktheexpert My daughter is 6 months old now. In a few days time I will be leaving for work. She is an exclusive breastfed baby. From past 1 week, I am trying to introduce bottle to her apart from solids. She is good with solids but she is hesitant to try bottle. She cries when fed with bottle. Now that I will go for work, I am worried how will she drink milk. I tried to give her expressed milk too in bottle, that too she rejected. Please advise.
