Answer

Also, my daughter passes yellowish foamy liquid around 6 times a day, since a week. On doctor's guidance we gave her 3days of antibiotic injections and zinc syrup. But this hasn't improved the condition.

Answer

Thank you for the quick response. But there is no adequate breastmilk. What can be given as alternative? And I give my 6month daughter Nestle Nestum Rice 3 times a day. So how many times your mentioned solid foods can be given, and how much quantity?
