Give BF only upto 6months of age if possible... If breast milk is less then only give formula powder... If requires give Formula as much as baby take it...do burp after feed.. Baby should pass urine 5to6 times in 24 hours...

if weight gain is good then no need to worry..

No urine output for more than 6 hours is significant. Complementary feeds best after 6 months but if there is problem with breast milk insufficiency you can start on stewed apple and carrot purees or formula feeds rather than cerelac..

Complementary feeding must be stated after 6 months only. Not passing urine for 4 hours is ok.
