A. you have to give only milk to the child and do not give water to the child before completion of 6 months of age you have to give only breastfeeding /milk to the child till completion of 6 months of age and before 6 months of age if you are giving any type of outside food or complementary feeding it can cause digestion problem in the child. no need to give water also because breast milk contains 80% of water and water also is given after six months of age only. it is advisable to continue the the multi vitamin and supplement medicines given by your doctor

A. Hello dear parent! As long as your baby is active and healthy, accepting feeds, passing adequate urine a minimum of 6 to 8 times in a day then nothing to worry. Continue breastfeeding your baby well on demand for better health, nutrition and hydration. Regularly massage your baby with Babyhug massage oil.
