A. How long you should feed your baby depends on your baby. If your baby is latching on to your breast for a longer time mamma please be patient and let your baby latch on till the time he/ she leaves your breast automatically. Breastfeeding is a very important step for the fulfillment of your baby's body requirements and also it is important in creating a bond between you and baby. so let the baby decide the time and be patient. And if the baby is non demanding try to feed every 2-3 hours, that will help the baby to feed more and gain some more nutrients.

A. Milk is very important for babies specially in the initial days of life breast milk is very important and should be given exclusively till 5-6 months of age . formula milk should be given only as a substitute to breast milk if due to any reason it is not sufficient to fulfill the demand of the baby. according to the age different stage of formula milk are there like stage 1 till 6 months of age stage 2 from 6 months to 12 months and thereafter stage 3 . after one year cows milk should be started and any kind of hhealth drink powder in milk should be used only after the comvpletion of two years of age .
