A. Breastfeeding is always a very important factor for the baby and mother and many times there are some problem faced by mother because of either wrong position while feeding lack of proper diet stress related factors. A proper is counselling is required which can be done by a lactational counsellor along with a hiproper diet with plenty of liquids some supplements may be helpful like shatavari . Also try to avoid givinyg top milk in initial stage specially with bottle feeding which may be the culprit for lactational failure most of the time .

A. Hello dear parent! Ideally semi solids and water should be introduced only after 6 months completion. Till then baby should be either exclusively breastfed or formula fed. Consult your doctor for further details. Keep Babyhug tummy roll on handy
