Health Tips
Breast feeding is best and continued upto 1 year along with complementary foods after 5/6 months of age.
Breast Feeding is the best till 6 months of age .
Nan Pro , Lactogen , Similac are all equally good . Specifically ask for stage 1 ( for babies from birth to 6 months ) ..after 6 months you should switch over to stage 2 . Can give how much ever the baby demands - 5 month old babies drink around 100 to 150ml roughly every 3 hrs . Preferably do not use feeding bottles .
