A. Hi, my question meant that if I am giving breastfeeding after long gap is there anything wrong in milk? as I have been noticed my baby use to vomit when she is having breast milk after 8 to 17 hours.

A. no problem baby is already 8 months of age in your absence you can give semi solids to the baby even solids also feed the baby whenever possible for you

A. Yes obviously it is okay it’s completely fine that your child is taking a feed from you after 20 hours that’s fine and you can give formula feeding to the child rest of the times and also try to feed your child at least for one year after that you can quit when ever you want to
