A. talk to ur own paedriatician, I would not recommend you to give other liquids before 6 month.. feed as often as they seem hungry or want comforted, offer more breastfeeds, feed from both breasts at each breastfeed.

A. If Your child is not gaining weight then you should start giving formula feeding to the child that will help in increasing the weight because maybe the breastfeeding that you’re offering is not sufficient I no matter what you should not give semisolid food before the age of six months it’s not healthy for the child so you can only gave it once your child completes the age of six months
