A. That's not recommended post 6 months babies need food items rich in iron. Babies also need to be used to solids - flavours, textures, variation nutrient-dense food. While breastmilk is the primary source of nutrition solids are complementary source of nutrition for babies 6-12 months of age

A. Absolutely not because if you keep giving only milk to the child it is not going to be enough for the overall growth and your child would be undernourished so it’s important to give every thing to the child other than milk like proper food is definitely important
