Q.

#asktheexperts My 4 months baby is exclusively on breast feeding. But I want to start formula milk along with breast feeding. She had colic issue and also gas issue. I tried formula milk but I think she gets more gassy for it. and also she doesn't bottle feed. shall I try any other bottle? Do I need to try any specific bottle?

A. its ok, If your breast feeding your baby then continue to breastfeed at regular intervals and there is no need to give anything else apart from mother milk or formula milk to baby till he complete 6months of age as it is complete food that takes care of hydration as well as nutrition. After 6 month you can gradually start weaning with homemade easy to digest food items like rice porridge ragi porridge mashed fruits apple Puree, mashed banana chiku etc. But whatever you are introducing should be introduced gradually with a small amountDon't worry about green stools because it is very commonly seen if your baby is having mild cold and cough or drinks formula milk. Moreover the consistency and the frequency of stool matters more than the colour.
