Q.

When to start solids if child is on formula

1 Answer

Janani ViswanathanMom of 2 children1 Year ago

A. Until the baby completes six months, the baby should be taking only breastmilk. If needed f9rmula can be given. But other than breastmilk or formula, nothing is advisable before six months of age, not even water. The baby will get enough nutrition from breast milk or formula. No need to worry. You can start solids after the baby completes six months.
