A. Not at all. You should not give cookies. Generally Any liquids or semisolids or Solids are advisable only after six months. Until then exclusive breastfeeding or formula alone is good for baby (not even water) as their digestive system will be still sensitive and immature. WHO recommends exclusive breastfeeding until six months. Even after six months, cookies is not the best first foods. You should first start with other liquids, semi solids and solids gradually.
