A. Hello mother, you can feed your child every two hourly,or according to baby's apetite or it could be one and half hour basis. For a 5 month old baby if you are feeding formula milk than add water according to the package instruction. And when child completes 6months only then you can start thinking about giving any outside milk that too in proportion of 2:1 .Try not to start with any other milk before that.
