Sai Prasanthi R LMom of a 11 yr 6 m old boy6 months agoA. Hello my dear parent! I really it is not required and definitely not advisable to do and give such things for newborn. The baby should be given exclusively breast milk for the first six months for better health, nutrition, hydration, and weight gain. Gently convince your mother-in-law for that or take your mother-in-law to the paediatrician for further counselling.
