Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy4 years agoA. you have to give only breastfeeding to the child till completion of 6 months of age and before 6 months of age if you are giving any type of outside Food or complementary feeding it can cause digestion problem in the child.
no need to give water also because breast milk contains 80% of water and water also is given after six months of age only
In COMPLEMENTARY FEEDING start with two rules
Rule number 1 is that you have to give the food in the form which the child can swallow
Rule number 2 is that always give a new food for for 5 to 6 days to see whether the child is able to digest that food or not as well as it will help in creating the taste in the child.
you can gradually start all ttypes of food made from cereals pulses vegetable milk and fruits. You have to start initially with less amount and gradually you can increase the amount
SanthoshiMom of a 8 yr old girl4 years agoA. Don't give now. your baby should have completed six months for any other foods like water or juice or even any other food. This is because only milk provides all the necessary nutrients. And early solid foods will lead to stomach upset and constipation.
