A. Milk is very important for babies specially in the initial days of life breast milk is very important and should be given exclusively till 5-6 months of age . formula milk should be given only as a substitute to breast milk if due to any reason it is not sufficient to fulfill the demand of the baby. according to the age different stage of formula milk are there like stage 1 till 6 months of age stage 2 from 6 months to 12 months and thereafter stage 3 . after one year cows milk should be started and any kind of healtth drink powdegr in milk should be used only after the completion of two years of age .

A. You can actually feel it when the feeding a sufficient or not if your child is not feeling from you then your child is going to win feeding and will start crying because the milk is not going to be sufficient so that’s one way easily for you to figure out and also the next is the weight gain of the child that the child is gaining every monthWrite Your Answer Here
