Mom of a 4 yr 10 m old girl4 years ago

Q.

Hi, I am a mother of 5 months old baby, I am used to give formula milk twice a day to my baby, rest of the time breastfeeding. Is it okay or I should only breastfeed? Will it make any difference?

A. Hello mom When mother’s milk is not sufficient for baby then the best alternative of mother’s milk is formula milk. So you should definitely give formula milk to your baby. And once you baby turned six months old then you can also start giving solids and water to your baby till the time continue with breast milk and formula milk
