A. Dear Deepa..if your baby is active no need to worry.I think your baby weight is not below average but you can take suggestions from your pediatrician.

A. no.. nothing should be given before 6 months.. exclusively breastfeeding is recommended upto 6 months.. As the baby's digestive system is still developing.. It cannot digest other things... Breastmilk is the best for the baby...All the nutritional requirements of the baby are met by the breastmilk upto 6 months.. Not even water should be given to the baby... If unable to breastfeed then go for formula milk only.. after completing 6 months.. You can start weaning food... start with liquid diet like rice water, dal ka pani etc then gradually go for semi solid food... so start after 6 months . .

A. Hello...please do not give any food till your baby completes 6montgs....till 6months babies should exclusively be breastfeeded....you cannot give water too...no other foods except breastmilk if it's insufficient then you may give formula milk,
