A. Milk is very important for babies specially in the initial days of life breast milk is very important and should be given exclusively till 5-6 months of age . formula milk should be given only 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 6 months of age stage 2 from 6 months to 12 months and thereafter stage 3 . after one year cows milk shoulhtd 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 mom Mother’s milk is not sufficient for babies and the best alternative of mother’s milk is formula milk. So you should definitely start giving formula milk. Even formula milk contains all the nutritious baby needs and regular diet. So there is no need to give anything else to your baby till six months.
