Q.

Due to some xyz reason I was unable to breastfeed my baby now he is 17 months old so basic immunity what he is supposed to get from mother milk he dint get , now also he just wants to drink packet milk and don’t want to eat any food . Is it reason for concern ?? Whenever I see other babies I feel bad because he is not breastfed so immunity might be low like that. Please suggest what should I do

A. The breast milk gives immunity to your baby only for the first 6 months, later the baby's antibodies develop and the childs immune system can fight against the diseases. there is no need to feel guilty about not breastfeeding your child. My daughter is 2.9 years old and was exclusively on formula feed and I am not worried about it at all.

A. See It’s fine if you could not breastfeed the baby it is not the end of the world because lot of kids are brought up on formula feed only because I’m so many women I also know you do not have sufficient breastfeed so don’t worry about that it is just simply you have to feed proper food to the child just milk is not sufficient at this age so try to work out on different varieties for your child
