hello #parentyourway do not give baby any food till the baby complete 6 months but if the breast milk is not sufficient then give baby infant formula milk stage 1 using a bpa free bottle like Philips avent which the baby can take easily and would help on the growth of your child

Accepted Answer

Food can be started once your child completes the age of six months and starts with the age of seventh month as prior to that you are not recommended to give any kind of food to the child along with that I am not aware about the birth weight of the child so I do not know whether the current weight a sufficient as for the age or not so you can calculate it yourself if you want you can just go ahead be doing it this way just check if your child has gained a minimum of 400 g every month that means your child has gained appropriately according to the age of the childWrite Your Answer Here

good evening I would recommend you to make sure that you are giving only mother's milk to the baby up to the age of 6 months if your child is not willing to have directly you can also try to use breast pump to express the milk and give to the child through a bottle you may try using PhilipsAvent breastpump and feeding bottle #parentyourway
