A. Baby immunity and growth can be taken care of by giving a proper diet with all the nutrition required for proper growth of the chfild . vitamin C, zinc, iron and vitamin D has key rofle in this. Multivitamin syrup like syp full 365 can be given 5 ml twice a day for 1 to 2 months. Give all the vaccination required.

A. Hello dear parent! For the first 6 months baby should grow 4cms every month. After which the height increase will be 2cms per month on average. Your baby is doing good. Give your baby 3 meals and water along with daily breastfeed. Regularly massage your baby with Babyhug cold pressed coconut oil for muscle flexibility and skin health.
