good morning doctor...i gave breastfeeding for my son exclusively for 6 months...now he is 187 days old and we started on alternative feed once in a day in morning hours...he is eating that but he wants to have breastfeeding immediately after having alternative feed...can I immediately feed him after giving alternative feed...? since it is 1st week I have started only once a day...how many times I should give alternative feed inbetween breastfeeding for 6 months old baby.?

A. Hello mom between both the feeds try to maintain a time gap that would be better , or plan in such a way that you can alternate it . Start one time day and as they accept it well you may they gradually increase number of meals
