A. as such not needed. if babys diet is good , no need. Milk- restrict to 500 ml including dairy products. give 3 meals which are substantial including rice, roti , basically cereals, with veggies , dals so proteins are also covered. then snacks should be again healthy comprising of fruits, variety of recipes. easy to munch on. try finger foods too.

A. no...it's not useful for gaining weight..it's just supplement. .for gaining weight you have to feed properly...if child is more than 6 years start complementary food as early as possible..it will help u to increase weight
