A. Hello good afternoon !! It depends on baby's present weight and digestion capability. If baby is peeing normal, increasing weight ideally then don't worry . From 6 month onwards you can start semi solid foods once or twice a day and rest of the day milk either breast feed or formula feed. If baby is more than 5 kg then you can give 65-70 ml+ per feed . Increase 10ml and check digestion capability if baby easily burps and playing actively after feed then give 65-70ml for a week and gradually increase other 5-10 ml..
