In today's world,experts keep changing their opinion every 6 months!! In general,give 2 solid meals a day including curd and Banana in the diet in addition to whatever you prepare at home and 4 milk feeds including one top formula feed using a spoon and katori. As for oil,safflower or sunflower oil is still the best in the long run,in terms of preventing heart artery blockages,but use minimally.
