A. good.carry on.To increase weight you must add high energy foods like eggs paneer , soya , ghee in rice , khichdi etc.this will boost him ok.See with babies not every thing will go as per rules.each baby has her own speed to learn and that's ok

A. Hello mom Mostly doctors advise not to start giving cows milk till you are baby turned one-year-old till the time if mother’s milk is not sufficient then the best alternative is formula milk. You can go for similac, Nan pro, lactogen all these are the best formula milk so you can choose anyone. And you should continue giving solids and water to your baby
