A. you have to give only breastfeeding /milk to the child till completion of 6 months of age and before 6 months of age if you are giving any type of outside food or complementary feeding it can cause digestion problem in the child. no need to give water also because breast milk contains 80% of water and water also is given after six months of age only. it is advisable to continue the the multi vitamin and supplement medicines given by your doctor

A. Hello dear parent! For the first 6 months the baby should be either exclusively breastfed or formula fed only for better health, nutrition and hydration. A little plus or a minus in weight is normal in the first few days. Just continue breastfeeding your baby for every 2 to 3 hours. Good luck and take care.
