A. 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 You can continue bf as well as outside milk also

A. Hello dear parent! Continue feeding formula milk as per your child’s requirement. Semi solids and water can be given only after 6 months completion. Till then the baby should be either exclusively breastfed or formula fed only. Speak to your doctor for further advice.
