A. breast feed till 1 yr If your breast feeding your baby then continue to breastfeed at regular intervals and there is no need to give anything else apart from mother milk or formula milk to baby till he complete 6months of age as it is complete food that takes care of hydration as well as nutrition. After 6 month you can gradually start weaning with homemade easy to digest food items like rice porridge ragi porridge mashed fruits apple Puree, mashed banana chiku etc. But whatever you are introducing should be introduced gradually with a small amount

A. If You want you can start taking lactation supplements for 3 to 6 months if they help you increasing your breast feeding it’s absolutely good along with that if you do not want to continue with formula feeding you should discontinue but start with complimentary milk like tone pasteurised milk or something because till the time we do not have sufficient breastfeed and you have to have a backup for that
