A. Hello good morning !! Yes you can Breast feed your baby but use double masking, sanitizing frequently, glouse and just be with Baby only while breast feeding. Virus doesn't tranfer through breast feed so you can feed baby. As baby is 6 months old start semi solids once or twice a day as baby growing needs solids for nutritional requirement. If you have any one to look after you can start semi solids fruit and vegetables puriees, mashes, cerelac once a day check suitability before introducing solids.
