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 stjgage of formula milk are there like stage 1 till 6 months of age stage 2 from 6 months to 12 months and thereafter stage 3 . after one year cows milk should be started and any kind of health drink powder in milk should be used only after the completion of two years of age .

A. Hi Siri and this is mostly a child would have about 60 ML your child is already having 90 ML at one point of time and that too with a gap of three hours so that is definitely much more appropriate also if your child is gaining proper weight according to the age and the appetite that your child is consuming then that’s very very good
