A. no dnt give fm. Breastfeeding is the best source of natural immunity and antibodies to a newborn baby never give formula milk as it is not required at all exclusive breastfeeding is a must for good immunity and baby health , reduces colic and gas issues and overall brain development of the baby. No water , ghutti or any other syp is given till 6 months of age .

A. solid should be started after baby complete six.. you can give formula milk if baby is not getting sufficient milk.. sold after six as ragi dalia sabudana cerelac blended khichdi puree mashed boiled fruit and vegetables as potato sweet potato papaya apple banana carrot beetroot pear.. remember one new food one at a time.
