A. why formula milk ?. Breastfeeding is the best source of natural immunity and antibodies to a newborn baby never give formula milk as it is not required at all exclusive breastfeeding is a must for good immunity and baby health , reduces colic and gas issues and overall brain development of the baby. No water , ghutti or any other syp is given till 6 months of age .

A. So That’s absolutely fine you should any will be feeding the child only as and when your child is demanding for it if your child is sleeping for a longer duration in the night there is no requirement to feed the child video tell straight in the morning when your child wakes up because that’s the right way to go about it
