A. yes can do so you have to give only breastfeeding /milk to the child till completion of 6 months of age and before 6 months of age if you are giving any type of outside food or complementary feeding it can cause digestion problem in the child. no need to give water also because breast milk contains 80% of water and water also is given after six months of age only. it is advisable to continue the the multi vitamin and supplement medicines given by your doctor.

A. Yes, a breastfeeding mother can color her hair. The chemicals in hair dye are unlikely to be absorbed into the bloodstream in significant amounts that would affect breast milk. However, there are a few precautions you can take to minimize any potential risks: ### Precautions: 1. **Ventilation:** Ensure the area where you are coloring your hair is well-ventilated to avoid inhaling fumes. 2. **Patch Test:** Conduct a patch test to check for any allergic reactions, especially since your skin might be more sensitive postpartum. 3. **Avoid Scalp Contact:** Try to avoid direct contact with the scalp by applying the dye slightly away from the roots. 4. **Natural or Low-Chemical Dyes:** Consider using natural or low-chemical hair dyes, such as those made from henna or vegetable-based dyes. 5. **Professional Application:** Consider having your hair colored professionally to ensure proper application and minimize exposure. If you have any specific concerns about hair coloring while breastfeeding, it’s always a good idea to consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
