Hello..... You should only breastfeed the baby... Nothing else should be given other than that.. Bowel habits may alter in infant... As long as your baby is feeding well and wetting her diaper five or six times a day, then she's most likely getting enough to eat. If she starts to become uncomfortable or has a persistently swollen abdomen,consult pediatrician.
