I’ll definately help u out here. But I need more info about him . What is his current weight ??? What developmental milestones has he reached till now?? Is he an active baby or he prefers to sleep most of the time???
Next Steps
I , as a neonatologist always advocate exclusive breast feeding for at least 6 months since no medicine or nutrition is greater than breast milk for a baby. It will help u with the development . If not the let us start with other diet plan systamatically.
Health Tips
Kindly consult so we can discuss this matter in more better approach . All the best . Take care
