Q.

My baby is 5 month old. He is not drinking milk at all and gives very tough time to even feed for 5 mins. Is it time to introduce solids to him?

A. Dear parent, solid foods should be introduced only after the completion of 6 months. Until then you should continue to exclusively breastfeed. Breast milk is most nutritious and complete food for baby till 6 months.
