ExpertDr. Minal AcharyaNutritionist4 years ago

A. Dear parent, it is not healthy to feed powdered milk. Ideally you should exclusively breastfeed your baby till 6 months complete because breast milk is most nutritious and complete food for baby till 6 months. If baby is active, alert, passing urine more than 7 times in 24 hours, then feeding is adequate. If breast milk supply is not sufficient, then you can feed formula.
