ExpertDr. Swapnil SaxenaAyurvedic Physician3 years ago

A. after 6 months Mother's milk is a complete food for the baby that is why it is always recommended to exclusively breastfeed the baby till first six months post birth. The initial portion contains the watery foremilk that takes care of hydration and the later portion that is the hind milk takes care of nutrition and is rich in fats. So there is no requirement of giving any kind of juice or water to the baby

A. Not right now it’s very important that your child should be six months complete before you go ahead with giving any kind of complimentary seeding to the child it is not recommended to give anything to your child before that it so once your child completes the age of six months enters into the age of seventh month that is going to be the right time for you to go ahead with introduction of semisolid food for the child
