you have to give only breastfeeding to the child till completion of 6 months of age and before 6 months of age if you are giving any type of outside Food or complementary feeding it can cause digestion problem in the child
first of all meet your doctor and get the weight of the child assessment done. if the weight gain of the child is within normal limits as well as the urine output is normal then do not worry about the feeding pattern the sleeping pattern and the crying pattern of the child. your doctor is the best person to tell you whether any outside milk is required or not until that time kindly continue only breastfeeding

Hello dear parent! Check if your baby is teething or having any tummy issues. If your baby is passing adequate urine 8 times in a day, showing no discomfort symptoms then nothing to worry. Continue to exclusively breastfeed your baby well on demand. If you are still concerned better consult your doctor for further assistance.
