Mom of a 4 yr 4 m old girl3 years ago

Q.

What food should I start for my baby??? As I have to join my duty after 6 month, I can't give her exclusive breastfeeding. So I have to start solid food after completing 5 month..

A. Dear mum, do not start giving solid foods to your baby at 5 months. You can continue to breastfeed your baby exclusively till 6 months complete, even if you are working. Breastfeed baby before going to work and after coming back from work. While at work, baby can be fed with expressed breast milk using katori and spoon. Breast milk stays good at room temperature for 4 to 6 hours and in the chiller section of refrigerator for 24 hours.
