#asktheexpert My daughter is 5 and half months old who is only on breastfeeding..I feel like my milk supply is low and she is not getting enough milk as she is not getting a proper sleep. Can I start with solids now coz I don't want to formula feed her ?

A. dear parent, no, solids should be introduced only after completion of 6 months. there is no advantage of early introduction of top food. you should continue to exclusively breastfeed till 6 months complete
