A. Milk for babies specially in the initial days of life is very essential,breast milk is ideally the best and should be given exclusively till 5-6 months of age . if your baby is having proper weight gain and urine output then you can consider that the baby is getting satisfied with the milk and there is nothing to worry. formula milk should be given only when suggested by your pediatrician 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 k6 months odof 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 health drink powder in milk should be used only after the completion of two years of age .

A. Hello dear parent! Maintain a good personal hygiene. Eat a well balanced healthy diet and keep yourself hydrated all through the day while breastfeeding your baby. Include all food groups in your diet. Latch your baby well onto your breast, make a good skin to skin contact with your baby. The more your baby is sucking directly the better supply of breastfeeding.
