A. Milk is very important for babies specially in the initial days of life breast milk is very important and should be given exclusively till 5-6 months of age . formula milk should be given only as a substitute to breast milk if due to any reason it is not sufficient to fulfill the demand of the baby. according to the age different stage of formula milk are there like stage 1 till 6 months of age stage 2 from 6 months to 12 months and thereafter stacge 3 . after one year cows milk should be started and any kicnd of health drink powder in milk should be used only after the completion of two years of age .

A. hi mam,all babies are different so they have their own specific sleep and feeding patterns. so ,as per my opinion, if a child is playful , gains enough weight, passes urine at least 7 or 8 times in a day then no need to worry about anything.
