A. dear mum , even if baby is on formula then also recommendation is to continue only formula till 6 mth complete it has enough water to meet water requirement in summer too there is no advantage of early introduction to top food

A. Acc.to me yes you can give,but start with basic purees,since she is completely on formula. Also, you need to check few points, her head control should be strong,she is able to sit 30secs atleast taking a support of a pillow or so,and she shows interest in food (looking at food plates,or you while you are waiting,pulls the food plates to eat).

A. 180 days should be completed, only after that can you give food

A. hello since your baby is already on formula milk I would suggest to continue the same till completion of 6 months as while making formula we already add required amount of water and that is sufficient for babies, but yes if you have fear of dehydration during summer you can try and increase the formula level if taking 90 offer 120 per feed if taking 120 the try for 150 per feed or else try giving after every 2-3 hours, i understand your concern since even my baby completed 4 months recently and she is also completely on formula milk....
