Hello.  Best food for a baby is breast milk. Baby should not be given anything apart from breast milk. Not even water. Gripe water is not recommended.
Next Steps
in case mother is having poor milk output then only start formula milk. during preparation make sure to use proper dilution. both concentrated and diluted feeds have poor taste. and avoid bottle feeding. instead use wati spoon.
