Q.

How do i know if my breast milk is sufficient for my baby. I feed her 4 to 5 times a day for 10-15 mins. She has her solid food too. Should i start formula milk or cows milk ? if yes can i still feed her along with outside milk?

A. Hello dear parent! Ideally for the first one year the baby should be either breastfed or formula fed only. Outside milk is advisable only after one year completion. Give your baby a well balanced healthy diet and keep hydrated all through the day. Good luck and take care.
