A. Till 6 months complete only breastfeeding or formula feed should be given. so you can store best milk for 2 to 3 hours and rest of the time formula feed can be given after completing 6 months you should start with water along with Dal water and rice water only in continuation with breast milk after completing 7 months you should start with Semi solid food like vegetable soup for fruits purry and then slowly move on for solid food so that the babies digestion remains good

A. Still give only breastfeeding your baby should have completed six months for any other foods like water or juice or even any other food. This is because only milk provides all the necessary nutrients. And early solid foods will lead to stomach upset and constipation
