Mother milk to 4yr old
I have a 5 months old child and I am giving mother milk only. Can I give a little of my milk to my 4yr old child in a small dose like 5ml with a measuring cup. I felt it might improve his immune system.

A 4 year old doesn't require mother's milk. If you are really concerned about his immunity please concentrate on his diet. Fresh vegetables and fruits can help boost his immunity a lot . Fruits like oranges, mosambi, lemons and papayas are rich in vitamin C which will definitely boost his immunity.
