If breastfeeding is not enough then you can consider.
Try to breastfeed for first of year of life after that start dairy milk.
However if you are giving it, prefer pasturised milk like Amul or mother dairy only.
Don't dilute it with water.
Boil the milk and after it normalises then give it to child in a glass.
No bottle feeding.
