VishruthaMom of 2 children4 years agoA. Hi parent, no animal milk till 1 year. Only breastmilk or formula are main sources of nutrition for babies till 1 year. After 5 to 6 months you can give solid foods and small amount of water to baby after confirmation and guidance from baby's pediatrician. Babies usually should double their birth weight by 5th month and triple birth weight by 1 year. So keep feeding every 2 to 3 hours or on demand and half an hour before giving solids.
Breastmilk is generated on demand supply basis and the more you feed baby, the better milk supply. Even pumping gives stimulation and increases breastmilk production. Pump a few times a day after feeding baby. Try to have galactagogues like Galact powder three times with milk, lots of roasted garlic I everything, Shatavari, fenugreek seeds cooked with rice, poppy seeds or khus khus, sesame seeds, palak leaves, dill leaves, methi leaves, fennel or saunf, Soaked garden cress (aliv/aalvi/halim), gourds especially ridge gourd, ghee, whole grains, such as brown rice, quinoa, oats, dry fruits such as walnuts, flax seeds, almonds, hazelnuts, dried figs, tofu, paneer, butter, and whole curds, jaggery. Eat healthy diet with lots of citrus fruits, leafy greens, and vegetables. Drink atleast 3 litres of water, and other liquids like fruit juices, coconut water, soups daily.
