A. dear mum, no, do not give anything to your baby apart from breastmilk. breastmilk is nature's complete food for baby till 6 months. for healthy weight gain, exclusively breastfeed till 6 months. at one episode of breastfeeding feed from only one breast so that baby receives fat rich hindmilk which will help in weight gain.

A. Hello mom No not now. You have to wait till baby turned six months old. Till the time you should not start giving any type of solids or anything rather than mother’s milk or formula milk. Till the time you can just feed your baby for overall growth and weight gain. Don’t give anything else. Stay home stay safe Happy parenting
