Till 6 months of age, baby should get exclusive breast feeding. If mother has no enough milk then neesd to give formula feed along with vitamin supplements. Egaliv is ayurvedic appetizer, not a active metabolic agent for body growth. Body needs adequate proteins, carbohydrates, fats for growth. So after 6 needs to start complement feeding as dal rice paste, meshed banana, meshed potato etc. Giving vitamin supplement and treating iron deficiency is also helpful in improving appetite and stimulate growth.
