A. till completion of 6 months of age you can offer either breastfeeding or powder milk and after six months of age you can offer complementary feeding to the child In COMPLEMENTARY FEEDING start with two rules Rule number 1 is that you have to give the food in the form which the child can swallow Rule number 2 is that always give a new food for for 5 to 6 days to see whether the child is able to digest that food or not as well as it will help in creating the taste in the child. you can gradually start all types of food made from cereals pulses vegetable milk and fruits. You have to start initially with less amount and gradually you can increase the amount

A. Hi mom If ur bm is not sufficient then u can start with the formula milk. Once ur baby completes six months then u can start with the semi solids like cerelac, daal ka pani, ripe banana, apple puree, raagi porridge etc. Take care
