A. will be fine in 2 months you have to give only breastfeeding /milk 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. no need to give water also because breast milk contains 80% of water and water also is given after six months of age only. it is advisable to continue the the multi vitamin and supplement medicines given by your doctor.

A. Hot oil massage: Massage your baby’s skin with warm olive oil or almond oil every day before you bathe him! These oils are exceptional and provide just the kind of nourishment that baby skin requires. I use coconut oil too as it helps repair damaged skin and provides that sought-after glow!Natural scrubs: These are the best as babies too need to exfoliate! Since store-bought exfoliators could be harmful to newborns’ skin, I make one at home out of chickpea flour, milk cream, and water. It makes for a mild exfoliator that helps remove any dirt or excessive hair from your baby’s body. Gently scrub your baby’s skin with this solution at least thrice a week.
